Physiological Effects of NAACH Voltages.

Abstract

Measurements of voltage drops between electrodes inserted into the skull and neck musculature of cats demonstrate that NAACH passes audiofrequency current through the body. Evidence was obtained that the magnitude of this current could vary, but the limits of variability have not been determined. Within the range that occurred in daily exposures over a period of 17 days, no consistent effect on sleep or alertness was observed. No significant changes were detected in one electrocardiogram channel or in any other physiological parameter. (Author)
