Abstract

The fast and unrelenting spread of wireless telecommunication devices has changed the landscape of the telecommunication world, as we know it, principally in current years.There had been a great concern for possible health from exposure to the RF fields produced by these wireless technologies.Aim of this paper is to examine the impact of mobile phone radiations generated by 2G and 3G GSM mobile phone technology on the human brain.activity and compares it with idle condition via experimental works.The experiment has been conducted in a laboratory using different human volunteers.The period of operation is 10 minutes as the talking time on the phone.Electroencephalogram is used to monitor and capture the brain signals of various subjects during the experimental analysis for an interval of 10 minutes with two different communication technologies (GSM2G, GSM3G,IDLE condition).The signals obtained under three different conditioned are analyzed with digital signal processing techniques such as Autocorrelation, Cross Correlation and Power Spectral Density analyses.The result shows that use of GSM 2G mobile phone has the larger effect on brain activity followed by GSM 3G phone which is followed by idle condition.
