Dear Atanu,

regarding your question which human cognitibe variable should be used to test the effects of LF EMF, it comes to my mind that one should have a very basic look at alertness. When performing animal experiments with 900 MHz we do have the impression that it might affect alertness which, however, has to be viewed on the background of spontaneous changes due to time of day as well as time of year. This means your planned work is not easy to perform since you are working on a "moving target".

All the best and warm regards

Christian

Dear Sir,

TOLT, RNAS, Total Recall, and any or some of the following: http://www.alzheimer.ca/en/About-dementia/For-health-care-professionals/Screening-and-diagnosis/Summary-of-recommended-cognitive-screening-tests?gclid=CjwKEAjwluetBRD98L639p35p0QSJACC8BlKBmikQkcVoQc6fJHWgYlIw4HUxJEwMloPFRS1HMdSOhoChtTw_wcB

I like Raven's Progressive Matrices. But that's just a personal opinion. CANTAB is a good one (Cambridge), while SB5 is also an accepted standard in many places. Depends how much time the candidate is willing to spare, and some of the tests need to be modified for Indian use, e.g., 99% of Indians will not know there are 50 stars on the US flag, and therefore won't be able to classify a flag with 49 stars as a mismatch.

Respectful regards,

Priyo

Thank you Christian and Priyo for suggesting cognitive variables.

Best, Atanu
