Statistical Analysis of the Human EEG during RF Exposure from Mobile Phones: An Alternative Method to Analysis of the EEG in Frequency Bands

摘要

This paper aims to describe a novel statistical approach to analysing the effects of radiofrequency (RF) exposures from mobile phones on the human EEG. In addition, the paper describes two limitations that may be encountered when using statistical methods to analyse the EEG in its frequency bands. The proposed method of analysis which is based on measures of central tendency introduces an approach whereby the recorded body of EEG data collected during trials can be effectively interpreted for spectral analysis at a higher resolution across the EEG spectrum. It is believed that the proposed statistical approach may be also useful in other studies investigating the effects of alternate forms of involuntary stimulus on the human EEG, such as electrical stimulus, light, and sound.
