    What if humans could bypass language altogether and directly pass thoughts, ideas and instructions from one brain to another. That sounds pretty groovy, right?

    Well, scientists have demonstrated that instant brain-to-brain communication could become a reality with the help of…wait for it…computers (shock!).

    In recent experiments, researchers from the University of Washington showed that they could send one person’s thoughts through a computer to control the hand motion of another sitting half a mile (0.8km) away.

    This is pretty much how it works…

    To make the mind-meld possible, one person is hooked up to an electroencephalography cap, which is covered in sensors that pick up brain signals and send them to a computer. The computer decodes the signals and sends them as electric pulses to the second person, who is wearing a cloth swim cap with a transcranial magnetic stimulation coil on top. The coil is placed near the area of the brain that controls hand motion. The first person thinks about moving his or her hand, and that brain signal is transferred to the second person, triggering atwitchy hand movement.
