Scientists connect 3 actual human brains (then make them play Tetris)

Neuroscientists behind the project called it "BrainNet", a "multi-person non-invasive direct brain-to-brain interface for collaborative problem solving".

And they tested it by playing Tetris. Because of course they did.

The team used "electroencephalograms" (EEGs) to record electric impulses from two human brains and "transcranial magnetic stimulation" (TMS) to deliver information to a third brain. The end result: an interface that allowed three human subjects to collaborate and solve Tetris problems using brain-to-brain communication.

Three, if you connect their brains to each other.

This is actually nothing new. Connecting multiple brains can also be accomplished by the old hand-to-ear method.
