Acute Exposure to Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) has effects on the electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram, consistent with vagal nerve stimulation

•Two provocation experiments of Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) in healthy volunteers.•In one experiment, chest exposure to TETRA had significant effect on the electroencephalogram (EEG).•Chest exposure to TETRA also induced changes in heart rate variability (HRV).•Pattern of effects on the EEG an...
