Effects of pulse-modulated radio frequency electromagnetic fields on the human brain: Critical field parameters, site of interaction and sensitivity in early adolescence

This project investigates the effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) on brain activity and cognitive function in young persons. The aim is to find out whether the human brain is particularly sensitive to EMF during maturation. This question is crucial for future health risk assessments.

Radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure and health related quality of life: Prospective cohort study

This research project will measure and model the exposure of a general population sample to different sources of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF). It addresses the question of whether EMF exposure under real life conditions can cause symptoms or impair health-related quality of life.

Effects of UMTS radiation on cerebral blood circulation assessed by near infrared imaging

This project aims at studying potential physiological effects of universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) electromagnetic fields on blood circulation and oxygenation of the human brain. These effects will be studied in human volunteers using near infrared imaging.
