Brain-to-brain communication from India to France: How telepathy is mastered
by Jim Algar, Tech Times, techtimes.com -- Sept 4, 2014
It's not true mental telepathy -- not yet, anyway -- but an international group of researchers is reporting they've successfully transmitted information in a brain-to-brain link between two humans.
Scientists from the U.S., France and Spain say they leveraged several technologies, including computers and the Internet, to send information between test subjects in India and France, separated by 5,000 miles, without carrying out any invasive procedures on the subjects.

The recipients were able to determine the word the originating subject was thinking of, the researchers say, strictly through the interface with no additional sensory clues about the intended communication.
This experiment suggests the possibility of supplementing or bypassing the traditional methods of language-based or motor-based communication, and could have a number of applications, they say.
One example, they noted, would be using such technology to allow communication with patients who've suffered a stroke.

I wonder if they can make politicians wear one of these 'thinking caps', every-time they speak to the public?
Naah! Where's the fun in that?
Here's the hot-off-the-presses study, that seems to turn "telepathy" something that can be "hard-wired."

Abstract
Human sensory and motor systems provide the natural means for the exchange of information between individuals, and, hence, the basis for human civilization. The recent development of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) has provided an important element for the creation of brain-to-brain communication systems, and precise brain stimulation techniques are now available for the realization of non-invasive computer-brain interfaces (CBI). These technologies, BCI and CBI, can be combined to realize the vision of non-invasive, computer-mediated brain-to-brain (B2B) communication between subjects (hyperinteraction). Here we demonstrate the conscious transmission of information between human brains through the intact scalp and without intervention of motor or peripheral sensory systems. Pseudo-random binary streams encoding words were transmitted between the minds of emitter and receiver subjects separated by great distances, representing the realization of the first human brain-to-brain interface. [...]

A similar transmission with receiver subject 2 took place on April 7th, 2014. In both cases, the transmitted pseudo-random sequences carried encrypted messages encoding a word – “hola” (“hello” in Catalan or Spanish) in the first transmission, “ciao” (“hello” or “goodbye” in Italian) in the second. [...]
Discussion
In these experiments we demonstrated the feasibility of direct brain-to-brain communication in human subjects, with special care taken to ensure the non-participation of sensory or motor systems in the exchange of information (Figure 1). Streams of pseudo-random bits representing the words “hola” and “ciao” were successfully transmitted mind-to-mind between human subjects separated by a great distance, with a negligible probability of this happening by chance.
We believe these experiments represent an important first step in exploring the feasibility of complementing or bypassing traditional language-based or other motor/PNS mediated means in interpersonal communication. [...]
Well,
Helllooo!
And that word that I've been thinking like some nouveau mantra ...?

... "word" ...
Did you hit-miss-or-guess it?
A penny for your "thoughts" ???
