lab reunion –
we play Chinese whispers with
only our minds
The idea of communicating with our thoughts alone is the stuff of science fiction that, thanks to a team at the University of Washington, Seattle and Carnegie Mellon University, may soon become a reality. In their work (Jiang et. al.,2019), the researchers demonstrate the feasibility of multi-person brain-to-brain communication for the first time. Their system, BrainNet, is an exciting first step towards the future where the Internet might have human brains directly linked to it.
