title: Research on brain induced effect by extremely low frequency pulsed magnetic stimulation.
abstract: In order to evaluate the influence of extremely low frequency pulsed magnetic fields (ELF PMF) on human brain, we conducted the magnetic stimulation experiments (1 Hz, 10 mT, 20 min), and analyzed the changes of spontaneous EEG activity from 10 subjects. Compared with sham exposure group, the EEG power of theta band (3.5-7.5 Hz) and lower-alpha band (7.5-10 Hz) from the stimulation group increased significantly after magnetic stimulation. By analyzing the latency period and amplitude of P300 in auditory oddball task, we found that the latency period extended and the amplitude decreased. We suggested that these results might be explained via event-related synchronization induced by magnetic stimulation.
