  "main_findings": "A dipole layer model is used to calculate the current dipole moment of the cortical extracellular electric field and is extended to microwave frequencies. The paper presents arguments for possible microwave radiation emission by dendritic membranes of pyramidal neurons and calculates/discusses the radiative electric field strength at a distance from the head.",

    "The abstract describes a theoretical/modeling calculation without empirical measurements.",
