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."

Many people have a tendency to overthink simple problems.
As a kid I always thought ESP stood for Extra Special Powers. My ability to touch my tongue to my nose counted of course.
Every 2bit moron wants to add his unintelligible opinion.
Indeed.

It seems God knows a lot about this technology.
