This is a case where an article's title, rather than distorting an article's content, makes a claim not supported by the article at all.
In a telephone conversation, we link two brains by way of sound waves. A text-based chat uses light waves. A video call uses both. This experiment uses electrical stimulation of neurons, but in all these examples, well-understood physical methods are used to transmit information from place to place -- it's not telepathy as that term is defined.

Quote: "Telepathy (from the Ancient Greek τῆλε, tele meaning "distant" and πάθος, pathos or -patheia meaning "feeling, perception, passion, affliction, experience")[3][4] is the purported transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction." [emphasis added]
How is electrical stimulation of neurons not "physical interaction"? Is execution by electric chair defined as telepathy?
