Team of US-led researchers successfully achieves brain-to-brain communication between humans from India to France
For the first time, scientists have been able to send a simple mental message from one person to another without any contact between the two, thousands of miles apart in India and France.
Research led by experts at Harvard University shows technology can be used to transmit information from one person's brain to another's even, as in this case, if they are thousands of miles away.
"It is kind of technological realisation of the dream of telepathy, but it is definitely not magical," Giulio Ruffini, a theoretical physicist and co-author of the research, told AFP by phone from Barcelona.

Certainly you jest...
Get yourselves a damn cell phone. It’s easier and you don’t have to attach it to your brains.
The red pill, or the blue, Neo...
So that’s why my cat perches on my lap and stares at me. He must be trying to tell me something.
In other news, the average brain puts out ~25 watts of power, and people are still losing at black jack in Vegas...
“Bacon, baaacon...”
“Certainly you jest...”
Brain-to-brain!!!
They hooked up an EEG to the first and sent the results in binary via email and stimulating the second brain by light pulses ....
What hype.
now do it with a dog
“Get yourselves a damn cell phone. It’s easier and you don’t have to attach it to your brains.”
But you leave a cellphone in the drawer. If t is attached to your head the government can track you anywhere, they can also beam messages into your consciousness to insure you like them
Yep... that is NOT telepathic....
Actually, no. They stimulated the second person’s brain using non-invasive tech to “see” light pulses.
This really is a big deal. At the speed tech moves, true tech-based brain linkage is not far off. I’d bet 4 years at most.
And then things get “interesting,” as in vert scary...

Techno-Telepathy
“Actually, no. They stimulated the second person’s brain using non-invasive tech to “see” light pulses. This really is a big deal. “
I stand corrected on how the receiver was stimulated. OTOH, the first recorded event of this type of stimulation was in 1755 where they used wires around a blind mans head and he saw ‘flashes of light’.
