Controlled double-blind provocation studies consistently demonstrate that individuals who report sensitivity to electromagnetic fields cannot consciously detect them, indicating that symptoms are not caused by physical exposure.
The claim posits that highly sensitive people can consciously feel electromagnetic waves. Multiple systematic reviews and rigorous double-blind provocation studies (e.g., Rubin et al., 2010; Dieudonné, 2020; Kwon et al., 2022) directly test and refute this proposition, showing that self-described sensitive individuals cannot detect electromagnetic fields under controlled conditions and that symptoms are better explained by psychological mechanisms such as the nocebo effect. There are no papers supporting the claim that such perception is physically possible.
