What is the evidence for enhanced perception of EMFs? • Leitgeb & Schrottner (2003) tested the perception threshold for 50 Hz electric currents in 708 adults. • They found large individual differences, with women having lower perception thresholds than men. • They conclude that some people are more sensitive to EMFs, and that this is a necessary condition for the development of EHS.
However, • A large literature on implicit perception suggests that responses do occur to stimuli which cannot be detected. • For example, a wide range of physiological and neural reactions occur to backward masked stimuli. • Thus, EHS may develop even in the absence of a demonstrated increased perception threshold.
