Abstract

This experiment was designed to test the effects of an extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) generator (‘Resonator’) compared with strong static magnetic fields on cellular viability, and to illustrate the importance of dynamic patterns of fields compared with static patterns.
