The system, developed by a team at the University of Southampton, is said to be the first technology that would allow people to send thoughts, words and images directly to the minds of others, particularly people with a disability.
It has also been hailed as the future of the internet, which would provide a new way to communicate without the need for keyboards and telephones.
“This could be useful for those people who are locked into their bodies, who can’t speak, can’t even blink,” said the lead scientist Dr Christopher James.
The scientists claimed the research proved it could eventually be possible to create a system where people sent messages through their thoughts alone, although they conceded it was many years away.
Scientists used “brain-computer interfacing”, a technique that allows computers to analyse brain signals, that enabled them to send messages formed by a person’s brain signals though an internet connection to another person’s brain miles away.
According to Dr James, during transmission two people were connected to electrodes that measure activity in specific parts of the brain.
The first person generated a series of zeros and ones, where they imagined moving their left arm for zero and right arm for one.
After the first person’s computer recognises the binary thoughts, it sends them to the internet and then to the other person’s PC.
A lamp is then flashed at two different frequencies for one and zero, the Times reported.
The second person’s brain signals are analysed after staring at this lamp and the number sequence is picked up by a computer.
“It’s not telepathy,” Dr James told the paper.
“There’s no conscious thought forming in one person’s head and another conscious thought appearing in another person’s mind.
“The next experiments are to get that second person to be aware of the information that is being sent to them. For that, I need to get my thinking cap on, so to speak.”

STUDIES have been performed on this concept for many years.
Thanks once again. This is FEATURED in PROPHETIC PULSE ~ A Paradigm Shift.
Dr. David Morehouse wrote a eye opening book, "Remote Viewing" which I recommend. You can learn about this author at http://www.davidmorehouse.com/default.htm
I would have to do more research and don't have time right now as I am heading out to help with a benefit for children in our area. Didn't Daniel intrepret dreams? Will try to remember to do the research when I get home.
Yes, remote viewing in indeed a form of reading minds..
I've read the book "Remote Viewing", and I recommend that the Members in this Gather Group read it as well. I have to also add in that Remote Viewing is also done by those who have "prophetic gifts" ~ you can SEE from a distance (meaning different cities, states, across the globe) from right where you are.
Elizabeth ~ The protective light that you've mentioned is also very important. God's shield.
Daniel did in fact interpret dreams Elizabeth ~ as did other Prophets of the Bible. Daniel and Ezekiel are two of my favorite books of the Bible, but then I like Jeremiah, and the book of ACTS as well. . . .
I'm hoping that you will return to add more input here Liz.
Thank you, Rene. I was at a meeting where one woman was truly angry with me because she couldn't "read" me. I then told her that she wasn't meant to and that it was rude to be reading people without their permission. I knew the possibility of this happening at these meetings. That's why I would ground myself and surround myself in a protective shield of God's white light.
I have experienced that other places where they said I wasn't strong enough to prevent them from reading me. How do I deal with this person? Increase that white light and enlist more strength from God. I got to where I knew when he was doing it and would send out a mental message, "Get out!" He got tired of that message and stopped.
David Morehouse also wrote "Psychic Warrior" which I recommend. There are many other books out there that teach us how to protect ourselves from what I call mental vampires.
Yes, there are several Prophets who interpreted dreams. I was just in a hurry that day. You did most of the research for me, Rene. Thank you.
YES, Jen (N). EXACTLY. You have so many variations to your prophetic gifting. The audible, the visual, and "KNOWING".
I'm still reading ~ these comments are interesting!
Our thought is what the government wants to control, above and beyond anything else. IMHO.
Well, knowing thoughts can be beneficial when it comes to love, too!
In regards to Hate Crimes Law, what is the other function of it?
See, Hollyweird and Washington make strange bedfellows..
No, I haven't seen Minority Report; but now it is on my list of things to see. To be honest, I am intrigued by anything dealing the mind. After reading, An Unquiet Mind, I gained new insight into the world of manic depression.
