Effect of QLink Ally®, A Form Of Sympathetic
Resonance Technology (SRT ), on Mobile Phone Related Changes
To Neural Function
A single-blind pilot study with cross-over design was conducted
by Professor Rodney J. Croft at the Centre for Neuropsychopharmacology,
Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorne, Australia, with colleagues
from Australia and the UK. Its purpose was to measure whether SRT
(QLink Ally) might alter active cell phone (CP)-induced changes
on the human electroencepalogram (EEG), which typically occur after
15 minutes of exposure. The electromagnetic exposure from active
standard Nokia 5110 CP (Cell Phone), producing a 900 MHz electromagnetic
field pulsed at 217 Hz with 0.577-microsecond pulse width and maximum
power of 250 mW. Sixteen males and 8 females participated in the
study. Subjects were in a sound-attenuated recording booth in which
they rested or performed an auditory discrimination task under 3
different conditions: active CP exposure, CP + SRT, and control
(no CP or SRT) in random order, to which subjects were blinded,
for four runs per subject in one hour. A 19-channel EEG measurement
was used.
The results show a trend, not statistically significant, that SRT
impacts the neural function effects of CP in terms of both resting
EEG and evoked neural responses to auditory stimuli. Exposure to
CP caused a marked increase in alpha (8-12 Hz) that is not present
in CP + SRT. Moreover, SRT exposure showed decreased activation
in gamma (30-45Hz) and a lateralization of evoked delta (1 to 4
Hz). These results suggest that SRT mitigates the EEG responses
to CP exposure, making the EEG appear more like the control condition.
