Study Overview
This study investigates the impact of inaudible infrasound exposure on brain function and behavior, focusing on changes in brain connectivity.
Key Findings
- 38 participants were exposed to inaudible infrasound for four weeks.
- Changes in brain connectivity were observed in various networks:
- Decreased connectivity in the right precuneus (part of the default mode network).
- Increased connectivity in the Vermis IV and V (sensorimotor network).
- Changes in executive control network:
- Increased connectivity in the right frontal middle gyrus and right inferior parietal lobe.
- Decreased connectivity in another region of the right frontal middle gyrus.
- Self-reported annoyance from infrasound correlated negatively with connectivity changes.
- Changes in brain connectivity also related to reported physical symptoms.
Implications for Future Research
This study is the first to explore lasting effects of infrasound on brain connectivity. It emphasizes the importance of assessing individual responses to infrasound, focusing on sensitivity and related symptoms.
