UM-Bot Posted April 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2018 A leading surgeon believes that we will gain the ability to read each other's minds within as little as 20 years. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/316920/brain-implants-could-make-telepathy-a-reality 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted April 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Telepathy is already a reality! If the leading surgeon meant 'telepathy will be possible for more people' then he should have said that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted April 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It's often disturbing enough understaning what people say - much less what they really think... Who needs that? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you know(because I can read your mind) (just kidding!), that proof of telepathy cannot be produced online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorizBadinov Posted April 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was just reading an article about someone having this tech operating. Apparently it can display thoughts instantly in text. I suppose its not peer to peer really but if you can transmit data to screen then you can transmit to other receivers. Good side: people with speech handicaps can communicate freely hands free. Down side: some of us may need some serious filters and it will probably cause cancer from the implants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted April 2, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Quote In addition to sharing messages, such a system could also make it possible for two people to communicate emotions, images and even memories. I wonder if it will ever be possible to help someone with dementia to remember something. I don't mean as a cure, but what if even just a glimpse of something could get through by sharing memories with someone close to them. Now that would be something! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarMountainKid Posted April 2, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I don't want anyone to read my mind. However, this technology could work in another way. Say you wanted to selectively communicate some emotion or feeling or thought to another. I write little fictional stories, but I always have doubts that a reader actually understands what I have written. If I could compose a story in such a way that the receiver of the story could experience it as I want them to through some similar technology... One of my fictional characters has a Dumb Luck Brain Implant. That may be a better idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would keep governments, movements, cults, etc from broadcasting raw emotion and "stirring up the masses"? Instant riot, or revolution, or mass acceptance of some rather dodgy ideas and ideals... My rule of thumb (about tech anyway) is always assume the worst possible applications... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
