Cell Phones Excite Me … Or At Least My Brain

By technologyexpert

Technophile that I am, I love new things.  However, I usually don’t change cell phone hardware casually (as opposed to gaming PC hardware).  Cell phone hardware doesn’t excite me that much.  Italian researchers have run a study in which volunteers tried a GSM phone and determined that the part of the motor cortex next to where the phone was held showed "excitability".  Of course, this was a small test (15 volunteers) and excitement doesn’t necessarily mean harm.

What I’d really like to see is a test like this for Bluetooth headsets.  I don’t typically hold a phone up to my head, since I use a PPC Phone, but I use a headset all the time.
