Computer-Aided ESP Transmits Binary Numbers, Slowly

High-C writes "Dr. Christopher James of the University of Southampton has demonstrated what is being termed 'Brain to Brain' communication. In binary, no less. In essence, one person imagined a binary number, which was picked up by an EEG and transmitted via the net to another PC. The received signal was displayed on LEDs flashing at two different frequencies. The receiver's EEG correctly deciphered the string, resulting in a 1:1 transmission of binary data via thought. The throughput isn't great so far, at .14 bits per second, but it's an incredibly geeky proof-of-concept all the same."

I think you meant Extrasensory Perception [wikipedia.org].

This is the same technology...

Capt Christopher Pike used to communicate.

Really? When I talk to my wife, a completely different message is received by her half the time.
