The Cellular Basis of EMF Sensitivity
Many articles argued that weak low-frequency EMFs cannot be detected by the body because their interaction energy is too small compared with the energy inherent in thermal motion of atoms. It has long been known, however, that many animals including the catfish, shark, and platypus have specialized electroreceptor cells that are evolutionarily conditioned to detect such EMFs by means of sensory transduction. We showed that detection can be prevented in catfish by means of blocking antibodies. The possibility therefore exists that human EMF sensitivity can be treated using antibodies against one or more of the proteins involved in the transduction process.

Overview of Brain Nonlinear Activity
Published reports dealing with effects of man-made environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on human brain electrical activity have been inconsistent. We hypothesized that the problem arose from widespread use of linear methods such as time averaging and spectral analysis to analyze what were essentially nonlinear stimulus-response relationships. We developed a nonlinear analytical method to detect EMF effects on the brain and used the method to consistently demonstrate the occurrence of such effects.
