This news is based on the following article: Bräsher A-K, Raymaekers K, Van den Bergh O, Witthöft M. Are media reports able to cause somatic symptoms attributed to WiFi radiation ? An experimental test of the negative expectation hypothesis. Environ Res 2017; 156: 265-71. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2017.03.040

 

This experiment among healthy subjects showed that a film that raises the level of anxiety about the health effects of electromagnetic fields increased the perception of a harmless somatosensory stimulation and supports the notion of media influence in the development of electrohypersensitivity.
