Abstract

In the year 1979 we published the results of our preliminary experiments. 1 PEMFs with impulse package frequencies in the ELF-range modify the infrared radiation (3-10 µm) of local areas of the body surface in humans. This occurs in single cases already at magnetic induction values of dB/dt < 500 mT/sec when the field is applied to the head-thorax-area (Fig. 1).
