The aim of this study is to explain the mechanism of the effect of low-level modulated microwave radiation on brain bioelectrical oscillations. The proposed model of excitation by low-level microwave radiation bases on the influence of water polarization on hydrogen bonding forces between water molecules, caused by this the enhancement of diffusion and consequences on neurotransmitters transit time and neuron resting potential. Modulated microwave radiation causes periodic alteration of the neurophysiologic parameters and parametric excitation of brain bioelectric oscillations.

This study was aimed to compare two electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis methods, spectral asymmetry index (SASI) and Higuchi's fractal dimension (HFD), for detection of depression. Linear SASI method is based on evaluation of the balance of powers in two EEG frequency bands in one channel selected higher and lower than the alpha band spectrum maximum. Nonlinear HFD method calculates fractal dimension directly in the time domain.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of parametric excitation of the electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythms by modulated microwave radiation.

Materials And Methods: The model of parametric excitation based on polarization of water molecules was proposed and experimental results compared to the model. The experiments were carried out on 28 human volunteers.

This study is aimed to compare sensitivity of different electroencephalographic (EEG) indicators for detection of depression. The novel EEG spectral asymmetry index (SASI) was introduced based on balance between the powers of two special EEG frequency bands selected lower and higher of the EEG spectrum maximum and excluding the central frequency from the calculations. The efficiency of the SASI was compared to the traditional EEG inter-hemispheric asymmetry and coherence methods.
