Researchers have successfully demonstrated telepathy


Researchers have successfully demonstrated telepathy


A group of neuroscientists have successfully tested the world’s first brain-to-brain interface which allows to humans, connected through the internet, to consciously communicate with each other using their minds with no additional sensory cues.


One researcher, who was attached to a brain-computer interface (BCI) in India, successfully sent words to the brain of a fellow researcher in France, who was wearing a computer-to-brain interface (CBI). Essentially, these researchers have developed devices that enable telepathy.


Coauthor of the study and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Alvaro Pascual-Leone explains that the researchers “were able to directly and noninvasively transmit a thought from one person to another, without them having to speak or write. This in itself is a remarkable step in human communication, but being able to do so across a distance of thousands of miles is a critically important proof-of-principle for the development of brain-to-brain communications. We believe these experiments represent an important first step in exploring the feasibility of complementing or bypassing traditional language-based or motor-based communication.”


While this may seem like a small feat, it is an incredibly significant step towards achieving telepathy through the use of technology, the ability to exchange thoughts directly with another person. The uses for this kind of technology in the future are innumerable.
