Neuroscientists have successfully hooked up a three-way brain connection to allow three people to share their thoughts – and in this case, play a Tetris-style game.
The team thinks this wild experiment could be scaled up to connect whole networks of people, and yes, it's as weird as it sounds.
It works through a combination of electroencephalograms (EEGs), for recording the electrical impulses that indicate brain activity, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), where neurons are stimulated using magnetic fields.
The researchers behind the system have dubbed it BrainNet, and say it could eventually be used to connect many different minds together, even across the web.

In the experiment set up by the scientists, two 'senders' were connected to EEG electrodes and asked to play a Tetris-style game involving falling blocks. They had to decide whether each block needed rotating or not.
To do this, they were asked to stare at one of two flashing LEDs at either side of the screen – one flashing at 15 Hz and the other at 17 Hz – which produced different signals in the brain that the EEG could pick up on.
These choices were then relayed to a single 'receiver' through a TMS cap that could generate phantom flashes of light in the receiver's mind, known as phosphenes.
The receiver couldn't see the whole game area, but had to rotate the falling block if a light flash signal was sent.
Across five different groups of three people, the researchers hit an average accuracy level of 81.25 percent, which is decent for a first try.

Don’t let google hear about this...
The insanity quotient is always positive, the higher the number, the higher the insanity, the scale starts at 1...
IF mental telepathy does exist then the medium for the transmissions should be studied. It is not a known vagary of electromagnetic phenomena.
We had this when I was a kid. It was called a party line.
With the old two cans a long string, did you ever try connecting a third can to see what happened?

wired into Zuckbook or Besozon no doubt.
“exactly....those who have that ability would laff at this ‘experiment’”
It’s not mind reading. No one has that ability. Charlatans claim to.
No, they would insist that their wrong answer is “correct” because they reached “consensus”.
LOL!
Hurts just to think about it doesn’t it? You’ll never touch that “stove” again! lol
According to the plot line of Manifest, we are going to need this kind of technology to win the coming war with AI controlled robots of the future.
Neuro-Conference-Call.
No doubt the porn industry is intrested in this technology.
Well, even if it doesn’t work it will make a good plot for the next “Flesh Hunter” movie.
If some people gull me into one of these experiments, I will spend the time thinking happy thoughts about beheading people, so that they will never bother me again.
And worse, after so many times they think you’re crazy, or just pesky over small things. Especially when testing doesn’t find anything. YET.
No, they need to feel the pain is real, and exactly what it is like. Sometimes I have problems they think is just a continuance of something we know I have, but I swear, the pain is completely different. But no, it’s just the same old thing....
