"A consistent stimulus-response relationship between EMFs and changes in brain activity has been demonstrated in animal and human subjects."

according to many informed sources, this quotation is from the Health Sciences faculty of Louisiana State University

Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, USA Reports dealing with the stimulus-response relationship between low-level, low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and changes in brain electrical activity permit assessment of the hypothesis that EMFs are detected by the body via the process of sensory transduction. These reports, as well as those involving effects on brain activity observed after a fixed time of exposure, are critically reviewed here. A consistent stimulus-response relationship between EMFs and changes in brain activity has been demonstrated in animal and human subjects.

The effects, which consisted of onset and offset evoked potentials, were observed under conditions permitting the inference that the fields were transduced, like ordinary stimuli such as light and sound. However, unlike the changes in brain activity induced by these stimuli, the changes induced by EMFs were governed by nonlinear laws. This means there was no necessary dose/response relationship in a proportionate way, as we often assume is to be expected.

Review of "The Effects of Low-Frequency Environmental- Strength Electromagnetic Fields on Brain Electrical Activity":

Reports "dealing with the stimulus-response relationship between low-level, lowfrequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and changes in brain electrical activity permit assessment of the hypothesis that EMFs are detected by the body via the process of sensory transduction.

These reports, as well as those involving effects on brain activity observed after a fixed time of exposure, are critically reviewed here. A consistent stimulus-response relationship between EMFs and changes in brain activity has been demonstrated in animal and human subjects. The effects, which consisted of onset and offset evoked potentials, were observed under conditions permitting the inference that the fields were transduced like ordinary stimuli such aslight and sound.
However, unlike the changes in brain activity induced by these stimuli, the changes induced by EMFs were governed by nonlinear laws."

(in other words it was not simply more power or a greater dose means more effects, it is more complex than that, isn't it always with living structures like brains? - ESS)
The studies involving attempts to determine whether a period of EMF exposure caused a metabolic effect reflected in pre-exposure/post-exposure differences in brain activity were generally inconclusive.

Introduction

Concern regarding the impact of environmental-strength electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the nervous system arose independently from two strikingly different research initiatives. Referring to research he had done from 1965–69 to help explicate the Soviet microwave irradiation of the American embassy in Moscow and the results in several published reports (Gavalas et al., 1970; Bawin et al., 1973), Dr Ross Adey said:

"My colleagues and I have observed the effects of weak electric and electromagnetic fields on the behavior of man and animals, and we have correlated these observations with neurophysiological effects and brain chemistry. The most striking conclusion drawn from these observations is that mammalian central nervous functions can be modified by electrical gradients in cerebral tissue substantially less than those known to occur in postsynaptic excitation, and also substantially smaller than those presumed to occur with inward membrane currents at synaptic terminals in release of transmitter substances." (Adey, 1976)

During the same time period, Robert Becker sought to understand the role of endogenous electrical signals in the control of tissue regeneration; in 1972, after summarizing his work he said:

"I also feel concern for a much broader problem, which is the continuous exposure of the entire North American population to an electromagnetic environment in which is present the possibility of inducing currents or voltages comparable with those now known to exist in biological control systems." (Becker, 1972)

The idea they had in common was that man-made EMFs might interfere with the electrical signals that governed the body’s regulatory systems, like sand in the gears of a machine, thereby promoting human disease.

More material soon, brains are important, as is mind. The two are obviously closely related, overlapping, but not synonymous.
