Characteristics of a Good Study • Well controlled exposure system. • Electrically screened testing environment. • Double-blind testing conditions. • Measure of whether people can detect exposure and sham conditions. • Test hypersensitive and matched control participants. • Test a range of age groups. • Measure a variety of out-come measures (e.g., physiological, behavioural, subjective, cognitive, neural) under exposure & sham conditions. • Sufficient wash-out period between exposure and sham conditions. • Adequate follow-up meaures.
Laboratory studies to date • No studies meet all of these criteria, and surprisingly few meet a reasonable proportion of these criteria. • This may be one reason why there is so much inconsistency in the pattern of results found in lab-based studies. • A selective overview illustrates this:
