Scientist transmits message into the mind of a colleague 5,000 miles away using brain waves
The London Daily Mail ^ | August 29, 2014 | Ellie Zolfagharifard

Brain-wave sensing machines have been used to ‘telepathically’ control everything from real-life helicopters to characters in a computer game.

Now the technology has gone a step further by allowing someone in India to send an email to his colleague in France using nothing but the power of his mind.

The researchers used electroencephalography (EEG) headsets to record electrical activity from neurons firing in the brain, and convert the words ‘hola’ and ‘ciao’ into binary.

In EEG, electrical currents in the brain are linked with different thoughts that are then fed into a computer interface. This computer analyses the signal and controls an action.

In the latest study, published in Plos One, researchers decided to replace the computer interface with another brain to receive the signals.

In the initial test, the greeting was sent from a volunteer in Thiruvananthapuram, India to Strasbourg, France.

There, a computer translated the message and then used electrical stimulation to implant it in the receiver’s mind.

This message appeared as flashes of light in the corner of their vision....

No way do I want my wife knowing what’s going on inside my head. Let’s just let a glance remain an innocent little thing.

To the several dozen FReepers and lurkers on this thread, hundreds or perhaps thousands of miles away. What does this man have in mind?

So, how is the transmission of simple mental impulses over vast distances such a great scientific breakthrough again?

The research done at Stanford Research Institute on remote viewing and at Princeton on P.E.A.R - (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research) that went on for over 25 years are subjects worth taking the time to look at regardless of people’s belief systems or what they want to protect of their world view.

P.E.A.R ‘s work included research on remote viewing and non local consciousness that is similar to the work mentioned in this article. PEAR included much other exploration on other related subjects of what consciousness is and how it works.

Consciousness has always been a valid subject worth exploration.

The research mentioned above can speak for itself.

That’s nothing. I channel Eleanor Roosevelt. She says Bill and Hillary are white trash.
