Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

During operation, mobile phones emit energy in the form of electromagnetic fields that can be absorbed by the user's head. However, it is not yet clear whether this electromagnetic energy causes biological consequences or adverse effects on human health. This article aims to determine whether radio frequency pulsed exposure from mobile phones can affect a person's brain activity. For this purpose, the influence of mobile phone exposure on the nervous response was studied by analyzing electrophysiological measurements of brain wave activity. Electroencephalogram (EEG) test measurements were taken in two situations when the participant was not using and when using a mobile phone.
