The current safety standards for occupational exposure radio frequency and microwave exposure do not limit the peak power of microwave pulses. To evaluate whether short-duration (93 ns) high-peak-power microwave pulses can alter behavioral performance, four rhesus monkeys were exposed to peak powers of 7.02-11.30 kW/cm2 while they performed a vigilance task. The behavior consisted of two components: responding on a variable interval schedule on one lever and to reaction time ...
