Nonthermal Mechanism of Low-Level Microwave Effect on the Human Brain

This book presents a systematic description of the physical mechanisms and properties of low-level microwave radiation effects. It introduces the concept of nonthermal mechanism of microwave radiation effects, with special reference to the nonlinearity of neurophysiological and biological processes. With insights into electromagnetism, bioelectromagnetism, and nonlinear dynamics, this comprehensive volume proposes new ideas for updating the health protection limits for radiofrequency radiation and recommends following the precautionary principle to minimize health risks.

Features:

• Confirms dielectric polarization triggers small initial changes that produce significant alterations in nonlinear living systems, causing nonthermal effects.
• Explains how cumulative minor disturbances from coherent microwave radiation overcome thermal noise limits, enabling low-level microwave impact on biological processes.
• Demonstrates that predominantly positive results across multiple tissues and cells from numerous independent studies support low-level radiation's biological effect capability.
• Shows modulation frequency is crucial in microwave effects, with impact directly dependent on modulation parameters.
• Concludes brain effects vary between individuals, with only a minority experiencing significant impact.
• Emphasizes the body's repair mechanisms prevent all biological effects from becoming health effects, creating nonlinear, chaotic processes with unpredictable outcomes.

The book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, specialists, and academics in biomedical engineering, physics, medicine, medical physics, microwave engineering, health protection, biophysics, and biochemistry.
