Neuroscientists have successfully hooked up a three-way brain connection to allow three people to share their thoughts – and in this case, play a Tetris-style game.
The team thinks this wild experiment could be scaled up to connect whole networks of people, and yes, it's as weird as it sounds.
It works through a combination of electroencephalograms (EEGs), for recording the electrical impulses that indicate brain activity, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), where neurons are stimulated using magnetic fields.
The researchers behind the system have dubbed it BrainNet, and say it could eventually be used to connect many different minds together, even across the web.
Seems horrifying to me. Maybe television sets can use it for advertising. Why don't we all just become one big hive mind?
ReplyDeleteWould save time typing out Disqus comments if I could just have my thoughts automatically entered here.
Hive mind? Don't let any "Gedolim" hear about this new technology then.
