This
is a long way from been useful but it does use what we know. I do
think that we must get beyond this already ancient technology and
discover a better way to image and connect. We already know that it
is possible for the consciousness to produce a mind image which I
suspect is physical. Thus intercepting that process appears to be a
far better strategy for telepathy.
Then
a trained mind can simply visualize the typing of a mesaage in the
mind and send. I think that this can be mapped in porocess and used
to feed to a reciupient the same way. At least we should try and
this means been more ambitious.
My
present threory of mind locates consciousness in the
Spirit/Soul/Light Body that interacts with our physical brain to
generate language and some imaging in order to support communication
and the activities of the physical body.
Could we soon send
emails 'telepathically'? Scientist transmits message into the mind of
a colleague 5,000 miles away using brain waves
- Scientists used EEG headsets to record electrical activity in the brain
- Electrical activity from words ‘hola’ and ‘ciao’ were converted into binary
- The greeting was sent from Thiruvananthapuram, India to Strasbourg
- A computer translated the message and then used electrical stimulation to implant it in the receiver’s mind, appearing as specific flashes of light
- According to the researchers, this is the first time humans have sent a message almost directly into each other’s brain

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.
The researchers used
electroencephalography (EEG) headsets which recorded electrical
activity from neurons firing in the brain to 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
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.
In France, a computer
translated the message and then used electrical stimulation to
implant it in the receiver’s mind that appeared as flashes of light
in the corner of their vision
The light appeared in
sequences that allowed the receiver to decode the information in the
message.
Researchers then
conducted a similar experiment in which thoughts were successfully
transmitted from two participants, one in Spain and one in France.
The second experiment
resulted in a total error rate of just 15 per cent, with a 5 per cent
on the encoding side and roughly 11 per cent on the decoding.
The technology was
developed as part of a collaboration between the University of
Barcelona in Spain, Axilum Robotics in France, Harvard Medical School
and Starlab Barcelona in Spain.
According to the
researchers, this is the first time humans have sent a message
‘almost directly’ into each other’s brains.
‘We anticipate that
computers in the not-so-distant future will interact directly with
the human brain in a fluent manner, supporting both computer- and
brain-to-brain communication routinely,’ they wrote.
Human-to-brain
technology is also gaining traction. In May, German scientists showed
how seven pilots used mind control to fly with ‘astonishing
accuracy.’
In a simulation,
several of the pilots managed the landing approach under poor
visibility, while one was able to land a few metres from the runway’s
central line.
Meanwhile, in June,
University of Oregon researchers unveiled a device that claimed to be
able to monitor memories in near real time to see what a person is
thinking.
The receiver's brain
(pictured) was stimulated (areas shown by dots) to see sequences of
light that could be decoded into a message. Researchers then
conducted a similar experiment in which thoughts were successfully
transmitted from two participants, one in Spain and one in France
