The Effect of Wi-Fi Radiation on Brain Function 

What have over a hundred studies found on Wi-Fi and modulation of human brain waves?

You may remember that I have discussed how cell phones can affect brain function and how both cell phones and Wi-Fi can affect male fertility, but what about the effects of Wi-Fi on brain function?

“The possible existence of cognitive effects of RF [radiofrequency] energy has It has been one of the most contentious discussions on the ever-contentious topic of whether exposure to radiofrequency energy at the levels we all commonly find in the environment has health consequences.”

WiFi has been called a “runaway global experiment on the health of humanity.” The effects of radio frequency fields gained new urgency after the World Health Organization officially declared cell phone radiation is “a ‘possible’ human carcinogen (class 2B)” based on brain tumor risks, but its decision “has no relevance to the possible health effects of Wi-Fi, for which the exposure conditions are very different…” As you can see below and at 0:56 in my video Friday Favorites: Does Wi-Fi radiation affect brain function?, can absorb One hundred times less radiation from a typical Wi-Fi exposure compared to mobile phones, but you don’t know if there are effects until you put it to the test.

“To date, more than 100 studies have been conducted published on the effects of radiofrequency energy on electroencephalograms (EEGs)” of human brain wave patterns. “While the results are mixed, a fairly consistent finding is that short exposures (10 to 20 minutes) of radiofrequency energy to the head produce small, but statistically significant, changes in the EEG of resting and sleeping subjects….[and] most health agencies acknowledge these findings,” so the question is: What do you do with that information? For example, a recent review sponsored by the European Commission concluded that ‘the relevance of small physiological changes remains unclear and a mechanistic explanation is still lacking’”. We don’t even know how it’s happening. some have He suggested is an artifact of the test and that “EEG leads can act as antennae carrying radio frequency energy to the scalp, cranial bone, and brain,” in fact contributing to the changes for which they have been configured.

Either way, from what the researchers have found, no see the kinds of neurocognitive effects with Wi-Fi exposure that you do with cell phones. For example, “no measurable effects of acute Wi-Fi exposure were found on… reaction time on the psychomotor vigilance test… or objective measures of sustained attention.” Now, these results were from testing 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi, but if anything, we’d expect even lower levels of exposure from newer 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi “due to the shallower penetration depth.”

Although, more accurately, “a person who spend hours a day glued to a smartphone or tablet may well experience all sorts of neurocognitive effects, from the use of technology, not from RF exposure,” not from radiation.

There is There’s a lot of literature on the health implications of these new technologies for young people, but it’s all about the content. For example, “sexually explicit material is now available indiscriminately to young people, and studies have linked pornography to a number of negative health effects.” We need to ask ourselves as a society what effect that may be having. Girls and boys are “being exposed to a ‘colossal’ amount of digital media on smartphones”, which brands too easy, cheap and anonymous access to pornographic material.

“Young people can look pornography in school and other public places, as well as in the more private setting of the home or bedroom,” and researchers have only just begun to catalog the effects this can have on young people’s attitudes, behaviors, and relationships.

Most college students these days report Viewing pornography online as a minor, before the age of 18. Of 1,500 high school students surveyed, the vast majority admit to access pornographic websites, with almost one in three for more than an hour at a time. What is that teaching the next generation?

As you can see below and at 3:50 on my videoafter session By analyzing and coding the content of 400 videos from major Internet pornography sites, the researchers found that more than a third of the videos featured acts of physical violence against women, such as gagging or choking. Does viewing such material lead to sexually aggressive behavior? researchers Following 1,500 children aged 10-15 over years to see if there was a link between intentional exposure to such material and subsequent sexually aggressive behaviour, such as sexual assault. They “found that intentional exposure to X-rated violent material over time predicted a nearly 6-fold increase in the odds of self-reported sexually aggressive behavior.” But which came first? “A great difficulty with interpreting Most of the research in this field is that adolescents predisposed to earlier and more varied sexual engagement may be the ones who will seek exposure to sexual content through the media.” They may be drawn to that material in the first place, so no cause and effect link can be established. All we can do as parents is hold monitor what our children are doing the best we can.

That took a big turn, didn’t it? I go where the science leads, and the internet porn angle seemed like the biggest potential health threat.
