The Essex EHS Study: they got the results wrong
Quite often the Essex EHS study is quoted by persons who wish to disprove that electro hyper sensitivity exists. Unfortunately the Essex researchers appear to have 'screwed up' in more ways than one. Other serious problems with this research were previously reported. The link below explains what one of the EHS participants recently discovered about the research.
The research appears to be a very shoddy piece of work that should be withdrawn. Why have the researchers not been brought to task by their academic bosses, for their poor performance?
Electro hypersensitive victims world wide are still feeling the effects of this false and misleading paper.

The Essex EHS Study: they got the results wrong
The data shows how 70% of EHS participants actually got the "ON" signals correct and how Essex researchers redefined the concept of "chance".
For some reason, Essex researchers assumed that electrohypersensitivity symptoms act like a perfect on/off switch so that symptoms would onset and disappear at exactly the same time as the signal.
So, the Essex researchers assumed that EHS had to detect both "ON" (signal) and "OFF" (no signal) equally well in order for the results to count. Problem with that was that insufficient "washout" time was allowed in a shielded area for EHS participants to normalize after the journey to the study facilities.
