this is the first that has measured the effects on brain glucose metabolism. now, you take advantage of what all of the others have done, right? and one of the things that have been, in my brain, worrisome about the prior studies, of course, it's easier to say that, basically, all of those studies were done in a very small sample size, very few summits. i think -- subjects. i think that the largest study may have been 14 or at the most 16 subjects. now, that is okay if you are expecting a large effect. so if i study the effects of eyes closed or eyes open, ten subjects will be sufficient for me to show that effect. but with cell phones where we actually expect a very small effect -- because if it were a big effect, we would see it behaviorally -- we then power our study to be able to detect the small effect which was not the case for any of the prior imaging studies and which may have been one of the reasons why we were able to show a significant effect like the one that we showed that is linked with the exposure close the antenna. having said that, other stud

see no glucose consumption is in a dead brain. and i am saying this very clearly because this is not like a pathological response. it is a physiological response in the way that brains are requiring performing functions. for example, if if i look at you, the areas of my brain that are involved in professing the light, those areas are consuming much more glucose. that is for example i had my -- clothes because i had my ears closed of course no stimulus comes through. and the amount of glucose that would increase torque consumed by the cortex of my brain is going to be cut dependent on the complexity of the visual stimulus that i have in front of me which is a lot of object around me. so how much glucose is likely to be created in my visual cortex? based on that i would say probably a lot, between 20 and 50%. so this is one of the areas that require the most glucose consumption and performing a task. when i'm speaking for example the area involved with -- maybe consuming 10 or 15% or more glucose than if i were silent. so depending

this is one of the areas that require the most glucose consumption. when i am speaking, for example, the area that may be consuming 10%, up 15% while i am talking rather than when i am silent. it also depends on the complexity of operations he may be performing, the stimulation you were being exposed to. what we observe when you have a cell phone like this -- and by the way there is noise that would activate the our lateral cortex. it is transmitting, but it is muted. what is happening -- it is very close to the antenna in this area here. it reflects the electromagnetic radiation admitted from the antenna. that increase in glucose consumption was approximately 7%. >> 7%? >> it is a low range. >> you have a slide here that you provided to us, and this is with the cellphone off, a brain scan. >> yes. >> and this is the front of the brain? the part up at the top. and then with the cell phone on. and you see a lot more on in the front of the brain here. could you explain that -- as well as a change in the red court. is there anything significant about tha

glucose is the way the brain extracts energy in order to perform its functions. when you are activating an area of the brain, you see an increase of glucose consumption. we were observing what appears to be an increase of activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna. >> what else would increase brain glucose? thinking, sports, etc.? >> the only function where you will see no cuckoos consumption is a dead brain. this is a physiological response in any way that the brains are required to perform it
