 read mind and share


We will soon be able to read minds and share our thoughts

New Scientist

The first true brain-to-brain communication in people could start next year, thanks to huge recent advances. Early attempts won't quite resemble telepathy as we often imagine it. Our brains work in unique ways, and the way each of us thinks about a concept is influenced by our experiences and memories. This results in different patterns of brain activity, but if neuroscientists can learn one individual's patterns, they may be able to trigger certain thoughts in that person's brain. In theory, they could then use someone else's brain activity to trigger these thoughts.
