Brain-to-Brain communication between humans. Image Credit: PASIEKA/Science Photo Library/Corbis Scientists have demonstrated direct brain-to-brain communication using a system that transmitted information between people without speech, typing or physical gestures. The research led to ‘BrainNet,’ a system that connected three people and allowed them to collaborate on a task using brain signals. Electrical activity was recorded…
