Abstract
Although non-human primates provide perhaps the best model for extrapolation to man few studies exist of electric and magnetic field effects on these animals. Less than ten relevant journal articles could be located by this author. Nevertheless, because of their importance they will be presented in detail.
Opinions or conclusions contained in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views or the endorsement of the Navy Department.
