Skin temperature and autonomic responses during a human 3.5 GHz experiment
The reported finding
Selected head/neck temperature and electrodermal measures differed during or after exposure.
Reading it carefully
Differences remained within normal physiological ranges; an uncontrolled factor could contribute. Pulse modulation is documented, NR traffic is not. A 2025 correction adds funding information.
Inside the study
Technology connection
Relevant mobile-frequency experiment; waveform and dose described in this record.
Publication type
Original journal research
Exposure conditions
Pulse-modulated 3.5 GHz, 577 μs/4.6 ms; 25.5 min; about 2 V/m at head and 1.5 V/m at trunk. Reported head/brain SAR 0.037/0.008 mW/kg.
Design & controls
44 healthy adults; randomised, counterbalanced, triple-blind sham crossover; temperature and electrodermal recordings.
Statistics
See reported finding and original tables; effect sizes not independently recalculated.
The protection question raised
Which exposure conditions and biological models reproduce this response, and what would establish its relevance to health?
