The biggest effect seems to be interfering with mitosis (cell division) and causing cells that attempt mitosis to die.

In adult human brains, most cells don't divide, except cancer cells.

Hmm so non-ionizing electromagnetic fields DO have a biological influence apart from thermals now? That's... concerning news?

I was highly confident there was absolutely no way in the world wearing Bluetooth Earphones would have any kind of impact on my brain, but now this would seem like a possibility?

If you review the TTField information, you can see that the fields these devices emit are much stronger and at lower frequency bands. For instance, a smartphone held 5 cm away emits roughly 0.025 V/cm, whereas the helmet we're discussing hits you with anywhere between 1.0 and 3.5 V/cm. So the lower band is about 40 times stronger than a smartphone held against your temple!

Wireless headphones emit 10-400 times less energy than smartphones do. My personal takeaway is that you're safe.

3 orders of magnitude of margin in terms of power is still way less than I expected, considering that I have these devices on my head for 3 order of magnitude more hours than people using that treatment.

Of course there are dose effects and non linearities so we should very very likely be good. But huh.
