The impact of the electromagnetic waves (EM) on human neurons (HN) has been under investigation\nfor decades, in efforts to understand the impact of cell phones (radiation) on human health, or\nradiation absorption by HN for medical diagnosis and treatment. Research issues including the\nwave frequency, power intensity, reflections and scattering, and penetration depths are of important\nconsiderations to be incorporated into the research study. In this study, computer simulation\nfor the EM exposure to HN was studied for the purpose of determining the upper limits of the electric\nand magnetic field intensities, power consumption, reflections and transmissions, and the\nchange in temperature resulting from the power absorption by human neurons. Both high frequency\nstructural simulators (HFSS) from ANSYS software, and COMSOL multi-physics were used\nfor the simulation of the EM transmissions and reflections, and the temperature profile within the\ncells, respectively. For the temperature profile estimation, the study considers an electrical source\nof 0.5 watt input power, 64 MHz. The EM simulation was looking into the uniformity of the fields\nwithin the sample cells. The size of the waveguide was set to be appropriate for a small animal\nmodel to be conducted in the future. The incident power was fully transmitted throughout the\nwaveguide, and less than 1% reflections were observed from the simulation. The minimum reflected\npower near the sample under investigation was found to be with negligible reflected field\nstrengths. The temperature profile resulting from the COMSOL simulation was found to be near\n0.25 \nting no change in temperature on the neuro cells under the EM exposure. The pa-per details the simulation results for the EM response determined by HFSS, and temperature profile\nsimulated by COMSOL.
