ABSTRACT
There are at least three major reasons for studying the behavioral ef feets of electromagnetic (EM) fields: First and most importantly, behavioral studies are a sensitive and reliable measure of the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). Secondly, behavioral studies can validate or invalidate theories about CNS mechanisms of interaction. (Conversely, behavioral studies may lead to the formulation of such theories.) Thirdly, behavioral studies can provide us with sound ideas for practical appliestions of EM research. Such studies can define both the promise and the limitations of EM fields as a technique for changing or modifying human behavior.
