Abstract
This study analyzes if an external magnetic stimulus (2 kHz and
approximately 0.1 μT applied near frontal cortex) influences working memory,
perception, binary decision, motor execution, and sustained attention in
humans. A magnetic stimulus and a sham stimulus were applied to both sides of
the head (frontal cortex close to temporal-parietal area) in young and healthy
male test subjects (n = 65) while performing Sternberg's memory scanning task.
There was a significant change in reaction time. Times recorded for perception,
sustained attention, and motor execution were lower in exposed subjects
(P < 0.01). However, time employed in binary decision increased for subjects
exposed to magnetic fields. From results, it seems that a low intensity 2 kHz
exposure modifies short-term working memory, as well as perception, binary
decision, motor execution, and sustained attention. Bioelectromagnetics.
