802.11n (300 mbps, what most people call wifi-n) is a higher throughput, better coverage version than 802.11g (54 mbps, wifi-g or wifi)

802.11n uses a bit less power than 802.11 b or g, but it uses a better modulation technique and several "tricks" as MIMO (multiple input, multiple output ->2 or more antennas) and bean forming to improve the communication with less emitted power.

Bluetooth uses the same band, 2.4 GHz, as it's free to use, but it uses much less power in the communications, so it has a much lower throughput.

In other words our brains will get microwaved faster with Wifi then bluetooth.

Yes and no :) If you want to comply with the 802.11n standard, your emission power is limited to 50 mW, a microwave oven uses more than 10k times more power. 802.11 g used 2 dBm more, and 802.11b 4 dBm more, if I remember correctly.
