Abstract

Overview

The study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms through which low-level modulated microwave radiation impacts brain bioelectrical oscillations. The focal point of this research is on the model of microwave excitation related to water molecule dynamics influencing neural behavior.

Findings

  • Introduction of a model focusing on water polarization effects due to microwave radiation, affecting hydrogen bonding and neurotransmitter activities.
  • Utilization of 450-MHz microwave radiation modulated at different frequencies (7, 40, 1000 Hz) highlighted notable changes in EEG power specifically at 40 Hz, correlating with theoretical expectations.
  • Distinct enhancements in EEG power seen in the alpha and beta frequency bands at 40 Hz modulation, with negligible changes at 7 and 1000 Hz frequencies.

Conclusion

The investigation proposes that modulated microwave radiation leads to parametric excitation of brain oscillations through periodic shifts in neurological parameters. These findings underscore the potential health implications from prolonged exposure to such radiations, advocating for further in-depth study on their physiological impacts.
