The effects of exposure to a static magnetic field, as it can be found in electric vehicles, on driving performance and cognitive functions of students should be investigated.
In this cross-over study, 17 students were exposed and sham exposed in a single-blind fashion.
| Exposure | Parameters |

|---|---|
| Setup | a solenoidal coil (diameter of 25 cm, with two layers, each consisting of 22 turns of copper wire with a diameter of 0,27 mm) was placed around the subject's head |
| Sham exposure | A sham exposure was conducted. |

There were no significant differences between exposure and sham exposure conditions in any measured parameter.
The authors conclude that there was no effect of exposure to a static magnetic field, as it can be found in electric vehicles, on driving performance and cognitive functions of students.
