With the extensive use of mobile phones (MP) several studies have been realized to understand the effects of radiofrequency exposure on brain activity. The results show changes in the alpha band spectral power. To better understand the cortical structures involved in these changes after MP exposure (900 MHz), we carried out electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography recording followed by the anatomical magnetic resonance imaging on healthy volunteers. Participants were selected according to inclusion criteria. They were healthy males or females, aged between 18 and 35, non-smokers and with regular sleep habits. Data analyses of 10 subjects are still under process and ready results will be presented at the conference.
