Dr. Matt MacDougall and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss the common concerns about the safety of Bluetooth headphones, focusing on electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and heat generation. Dr. MacDougall explains why the low energy levels of Bluetooth devices pose minimal risk, compares the effects of EMFs to everyday ionizing radiation, and discusses the body's ability to manage local temperature changes.
Dr. Matthew MacDougall is the head neurosurgeon at Neuralink. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab.
