Abstract

Artificial EMG (Electromyogram) by WLAN-Exposure L. von Klitzing. Artificial EMG by WLAN-Exposure. J Biostat Biometric App 6(1):101. 2021. Abstract WLAN (wireless local area network) is used as an important worldwide communication-technique. By this, always there is an electromagnetic field exposure. In contrast to the ICNIRP-safety guidelines, whereby no bioeffect is possible by these low-energetic electromagnetic fields, we found artificial signals in the nervous system in dependence on WLAN- exposure.
