Effects of Exposure to a Weak Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field on Daytime Sleep Architecture and Length

Abstract: Background and ObjectiveaaHuman brain appears to be able to absorb, detect, and respond to low-level extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF EMF). Controlled laboratory studies on human sleep under exposure to such fields are scarce. Only sleep-disturbing effects on nighttime sleep were reported for frequencies of 50/60 Hz, while lower frequencies (i.e., below 20 Hz) have not been tested. These frequencies overlap with the frequency range of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signal, and sleep resea… Show more

“…Transcranial electrical (tDCS) and magnetic stimulation have been successfully applied to enhance SWA with the aim to improve quality of sleep and behavior/cognitive functions [ 116 , 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 ]. tDCS (1–20 Hz) triggers SWA that is indistinguishable from those during natural sleep [ 118 , 121 ]. tDCS induces a widespread electrical potential field with a focus on fronto-cortical areas.…”
