The EEG was found to show normal activity during irradiation. However, a short-lasting slow-wave activity occured after a latent period of 15-20 s after turning on the phone. The authors observed these slow-waves, within the delta range, periodically in every 15-20 s. After turning off the phone, they progressively decreased. The authors concluded that the electromagnetic fieldsemitted by cell phones may be harmful for the humanbrain, since the delta waves are pathological if seen in awake subjects. On the other hand, the slow wave activity was more pronounced in children than adults, indicating that the children may be more vulnerable to the adverse health effects of cellular phones than adults.
