Protocol - 2003-04 - Testing for Effects of High-Peak, Short Pulse-Width Electromagnetic Signals

 

Title: Testing for Effects of High-Peak, Short Pulse-Width Electromagnetic Signals on Frog Muscle Research Category: N1: Physical Protection FY: 2003 Funding (in dollars): 480,000 Responsible Organization: AIR FORCE RESEARCH LAB/BROOKS Primary Contact: Public Affairs Office City: Brooks City-Base State: TX Zip: 78235-5116 Performing Organization: See Responsible Organization Information City:   State:   Zip:   Keywords: LABORATORY ANIMALS DIRECTED ENERGY SYSTEMS ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS ULTRAWIDEBAND Objective: Determine if ultrawideband (UWB) exposures can induce muscle contractions or alter muscle membrane potential. Approach: A lower leg muscle will be removed from a euthanized frog and then placed between parallel plate electrodes. Devices will be used to measure muscle contraction and muscle potential changes during the delivery of electromagnetic pulses.

Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have been excluded from coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research facility reports do not include these animals. As a result of this situation, a blank report, or one with few animals listed, does not mean that a facility has not performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A blank form does mean that the facility in question has not used covered animals (primates, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.). Rats and mice alone are believed to comprise over 90% of the animals used in experimentation. Therefore the majority of animals used at research facilities are not even counted.
