この研究は、聴覚記憶課題を遂行中の被験者における脳電図（EEG）の4-6、6-8、8-10、および10-12 Hz帯域の事象関連非同期化/同期化（ERD / ERS）に対する携帯電話からの電磁界（EMF）ばく露の影響を調べた、実験に参加したのは、24人の正常な被験者である。この研究は、著者らの先行研究の体系的な再現研究である。今回の実験は、二重ブラインド化し、すべての被験者は、カウンターバランスされた実施順でデジタル902 MHz電磁界ばく露下および無ばく露下において、記憶課題を遂行した。その結果、先行研究の結果を再現することはできなかった；先行研究で観察された8つの有意な変化はすべて、今回の二重ブラインド化した検証実験では有意ではなかった；記憶課題における誤答の数へのEMFの影響については、先行研究と今回の研究に一貫性がなく、先行研究では影響は有意ではなかったが、今回の研究では誤答数の増加は有意であった；EEGおよび記憶課題へのEMFの影響は変動しやすく、再現は簡単ではないが、その理由は不明である、と報告している。

To replicate a previous study (publication 3600) and thus to assess whether the earlier findings on the effects of electromagnetic fields were replicable. The possible effects of electromagnetic field exposure on human brain electric oscillatory activity (ERD/ERS,- ERD/ERS is a pattern in the EEG signal, that shows functional alterations of neuronal networks) were examined utilizing the same memory task as used in the previous study.
EEG data analyses were conducted identically to the previous report and comprised of ERD/ERS analyses of the 4-6 Hz, 6-8 Hz, 8-10 Hz and 10-12 Hz EEG frequency bands. EEG frequencies are subdivided into frequency bands. The simultaneously recorded responses of different EEG frequency bands differ from each other and reflect different cognitive and/or mental processes.

| チャンバの詳細 | The subject was seated in a comfortable chair in a dimmed registration room and was instructed to look at a TV screen placed 1.5 m in front of him/her and to avoid unnecessary eye movements. |
| ばく露装置の詳細 | A digital GSM phone was mounted to the subject's head over the left posterior temporal region positioned in direct contact to the left cheek in a normal use position. The antenna was located about 40 mm from the head. The phone was operated via a computer from an adjacent room. |
| Additional information | Each EEG test session was subdivided into two segments, with or without EMF in double-blind, counterbalanced order. The total testing time was about 60 min. |
The authors were not able to replicate the findings from the earlier study. All significant changes in the earlier study were not significant in the present double-blind study. Also, the effect of electromagnetic field radiation on the number of incorrect answers in the memory task was inconsistent. The authors previously reported no significant effect of electromagnetic field exposure on the number of incorrect answers in the memory task, but a significant increase in errors was observed in the present study. The only consistent finding between the present and the previous study was that in both studies electromagnetic fields decreased the magnitude or the ERS responses in the 4-6 Hz frequency band. The authors conclude that electromagnetic field effects on the EEG and on the performance on memory tasks may be variable and not easily replicable for unknown reasons.
