Scientists Demonstrate Direct Brain-to-Brain Communication in Humans
- ggggtez 7y agoKinda boring to be honest. The signal they are sending is very rudimentary (2 bits). And the communication is only one directional. This is more of a tech-demo than any sort of break through. The article even discusses other teams that are trying for 3000 or more bits. The sad thing is, this technology is probably slower than connecting an implant to the nerves in your finger, and much more cumbersome. If the technology can only transmit 2 bits, this really is next to useless.
- welcome_dragon 7y agoAt least this isn't being reported from Sparta, TN (aka Limetown)
- pzh 7y ago> That magnetic pulse caused a flash of light (a phosphene) in the receiver’s visual field as a cue to turn the block. Is that brain-to-brain really? It sounds more like ocular nerve stimulation derived from the EEG of the sender and it doesn't seem very far removed from having the sender push a button that turns on a light bulb in front of the receiver.
