Yes, but the "real" telepathy is when you can picture, in your head, the exact tree I'm picturing in my head, without me doing anything to help you.
Sounds pretty sci-fi, until you read about recent brain to brain communication experiments.
- shostack 10y agoI think one needs to only look as far as usage of gifs and emoji and Snapchat/Instagram to see how fast that will be adopted once the I/O devices improve.
- Terr_ 10y agoI don't think that's possible because the first person never really has a complete tree picture to begin with. Instead you have a while bunch of sub-impressions which your brain dynamically invents from old experiences as your attention wanders. Even if you transfer all the input-requirements, the other person's procedural generator will give a different set of outputs to satisfy them.
- p1esk 10y agoYou're right, but those experiments are still pretty impressive.
