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 brains
