We know what you’re thinking: Scientists test brain-to-brain communication (telepathy by EEG?)

What if you could communicate with another person only using your mind? The concept might sound far-fetched, but a team of neuroscientists and robotics engineers have inched the possibility of brain-to-brain communication away from the science fiction of Star Trek’s Vulcan mind meld and closer to reality. In a recent study published in PLOS ONE, the international team of researchers from Starlab Barcelona in Spain and Strasbourg, France-based Axilum Robotics facilitated computer-mediated brain-to-brain transmissions of simple salutations like “hola” and “ciao” between participants 5,000 miles away from one another.

The researchers used electroencephalogram (EEG) and image-guided transcranial magnetic simulation (TMS) technologies to transmit the greetings between test subjects from India to France in one study and from Spain to France in another.

In the studies, electrodes were attached to a participant’s scalp on the “emitter” end. That person would “think” a greeting like “hola,” and that information—gleaned through electrical currents read by the EEG technology—would be translated to binary code (a sequence of 1s and 0s) and then emailed to the receiver’s destination. The person on the receiving end would get the transmissions as a series of phosphenes, or flashes of light, seen in their peripheral vision. The light was received in a numerical sequence, with each “flash” corresponding to a different letter. …

"The four participants who were part of the study were all part of the research team, and were each carefully trained to read the signals that were being transmitted."

They were connected by a computer transmission and electrodes and learned the proper response necessary to match the stimulus thus providing them the reward of praise. Sounds like operant conditioning.

Operant conditioning focuses on using either reinforcement or punishment to increase or decrease a behavior. Through this process, an association is formed between the behavior and the consequences for that behavior. For example, imagine that a trainer is trying to teach a dog to fetch a ball. When the dog successful chases and picks up the ball, the dog receives praise as a reward. When the animal fails to retrieve the ball, the trainer withholds the praise. Eventually, the dog forms an association between his behavior of fetching the ball and receiving the desired reward.

I have done experiments with direct brain to brain communication, testing the effect of frequency changes. The “Tower of Babel” concept does work as when you tune high enough you pick up on the thought that formed the language and bypass the difference of language barriers.

Prayer?

As I read on, this research study is laughable in its lack of scientific methodology:

The study took a couple of years of trial and error in order to get it right, Pascual-Leone, who is also a professor at Harvard Medical School, told FoxNews.com. This involved training the test subjects and testing the reliability of the robotics and technology involved.

You are correct. Prayer is the absolute best method of changing the operational frequencies of consciousness. This is how all the people heard Peter in their own language at Pentecost.

Here is the cut & paste from acts:

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

Communication between people through thought is simple if you can tune the two individuals to the same frequency. It’s like using a wireless microphone with a transmitter and a receiver. They must be synchronized or they will not work.

This is why couples in a relationship begin to tune into each other’s thoughts. Emotions increase the volume of the transmission.

Thus when Jesus gave us the two most important commandments in response to the Pharisees question about the commandments, Jesus was telling us to focus on tuning into the frequency of God by Loving Him (staying focused upon) with your mind, body & soul.

In the second commandments He was telling us to let go of all the anchors that are keeping us focused on the lower frequencies and blocking us from tuning into God. It really is that simple.

When we learn to do this it makes our religion experiential rather than just theoretical.

[I want the USA back]

There was no transmission of thoughts. No communication.

I have no doubt this development will be perfected sooner rather than later.

I can think back to the 50’s and 60’s, when the things we take for granted today where just foolish wild eyed fantasy’s.

I mean back then the word blog, would conjure up an image some creature living under a bridge, then again perhaps that image is not so far fetched.

What could possibly go wrong?

Some inner impulse “goaded?” or prompted me into mentioning the word “prayer” in response to your posting. The two greatest commandments have also been on my mind a lot...as a means of cutting thru the “gibberish” that a lot of religious organizations(lib or conservative), heck even fellow freepers, have been throwing out. When to worship, what sorts of feasts to keep, tithes to pay, what is loving, and what is “legalistic”...it all makes the head spin.

It has been said that Christians are a kind of superheterodyne circuit...the Holy Spirit lives in us and in turn radiates out from each of us. I’m cautious about speaking of the omnipresence of God as being of a “higher frequency” that we “tune into”. To use your lingo in relationship to the Bible...only the Holy Spirit can “tune” a person to God but the Bible says a Christian is a literal new creation...not just a “tuned circuit”. I suppose with the right audience it would make sense and I know I’m not closed to what you are saying...Just as long it is remembered that the “Word” or God is a person and Christ is literally “the WORD made flesh!!
