2019 Pilot: Aires Shield Pro Reverses Mobile Phone EEG Disruption and Raises Alpha Frequency to 11.6 Hz
Double-blind pilot study measuring how mobile phone EMR shifts the brain from alpha to delta-dominant activity — and how the Aires Shield Pro not only reverses this disruption but elevates alpha frequency beyond baseline, indicating enhanced CNS information processing speed.

Study Design
This double-blind pilot study assessed changes in cerebral bioelectric activity (BEA) under mobile phone EMR exposure and the corrective effect of the Aires Shield Pro. 13 apparently healthy 21-year-old male volunteers participated (April 5–18, 2019), in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Stable EEG and ECG over 1–2 weeks was a prerequisite for inclusion. Equipment: Encephalan 131-03, 16-lead monopolar EEG (10-20 system, 0–70 Hz bandwidth). The Prestigio smartphone was used. Subjects were blinded to which scenario (with or without Shield) was applied.
Three Recording Conditions
Baseline
2-min background EEG + eyes-open/close test. All 5 stable-pattern subjects showed alpha-dominant activity: frequency 9.8±0.2 Hz, amplitude 80±7 μV, index 85±17%.
Mobile Phone ON (talk mode, muted) — no Shield
Phone held to the right fronto-temporal region for 5 minutes. 2-min post-exposure recording.
Mobile Phone ON + Aires Shield Pro (blinded)
Identical to above. Subjects did not know the Shield was attached.
Results: Mobile Phone Without Shield
7–13 seconds after the phone was activated, the alpha-dominant EEG pattern began shifting. Within the 5-minute exposure, alpha was progressively replaced by delta-dominant slow wave activity, with delta emphasis on the side of the phone (p≤0.01). This pattern resembles EEG in hypnotic sleep or meditative altered state of consciousness.
Post-exposure persistence: Even 2 minutes after the phone was turned off, slow wave activity continued to dominate. By comparison, after the functional hyperventilation test (a standard clinical EEG stressor), BEA returns to baseline in under 15 seconds. The mobile phone’s effect was not only stronger but significantly more persistent.
Clinical context: Positron-emission tomography (JAMA, 2010) found that brain cells absorb glucose 2.4× faster in areas adjacent to the mobile phone (orbitofrontal and temporal cortex). Prolonged hyperactivation of these areas — responsible for learning, memory, planning, and motor programs — may cause lasting damage. The slow-wave altered state is particularly hazardous during brain development in children.
Results: Mobile Phone + Aires Shield Pro
Immediate baseline restoration: When the phone with Aires Shield Pro was turned off, BEA immediately returned to the initial state — matching the swift normalization seen after hyperventilation, not the prolonged slow-wave persistence seen with unprotected phone exposure.
Alpha frequency elevation (p≤0.05): Despite visual similarity to baseline, statistical analysis revealed a significant difference: alpha rhythm frequency increased from 9.8±0.2 to 11.6±0.3 oscillations/second. Neurophysiologists consider higher alpha frequency a marker of faster speed of information perception and processing.
Coherence structure harmonization: The coherence structure changed to indicate more harmonized behavior of oscillation processes and interactions between brain structures. Correlation links between cortical regions became more sophisticated, especially in the frontal region (behavioral programming) and the right temporal region (phone side). "As a result, the brain gradually becomes more resilient to negative impact of EMR."
Key Conclusion
Mobile phone talk mode induces a measurable alteration of CNS state (delta-dominant BEA) that persists for 2+ minutes post-exposure. The Aires Shield Pro not only prevents this disruption but produces a statistically significant improvement beyond baseline: increased alpha frequency, improved coherence structure, and enhanced inter-regional correlation in the brain. The authors note these changes indicate “harmonized behavior of oscillation processes and interactions of brain structures,” consistent with a shift toward more efficient, cost-effective CNS processing.
