Table 1.

Combined data from Experiments 1 and 2 (wavelengths < 580 nm were filtered out, cross-over study; control group vs. electromagnetic field (EMF) of extremely low frequency group, n = 16 each): mean number of tail lifts, ratio of the number of tail lifts (test-day values divided by baseline values), and increase in number of tail lifts (test-day values minus baseline values; data shown are means ± SD per individual per day).

* Two datasets (that for EMF grouping, followed by control grouping, and that for control grouping, followed by EMF grouping) were combined and analyzed. a The ratio of test-day values divided by the baseline values. b The increase in the number of tail lifts = test-day values minus baseline values.
