To study whether exposure to a pulsed radiofrequency electromagnetic field emitted by a mobile phone has short-term effects on the inhibitory control of saccades (a special eye movement).
The performance of different saccade tasks before and after exposure or sham exposure were studied in 10 normal subjects (3 men, 7 women).

30 minutes of cell phone exposure had no significant short-term effect on the inhibitory control of saccades. The cortical processing responsible for saccade inhibition was not affected by exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by a mobile phone.
