I think Adam’s post is interesting because this was the first story I heard about communicating telepathically. I think his reasoning could be true if he tests his belief on communicating telepathically. He should ask others if this ever happened to them, or ask other scientists. Although I don’t really believe Adam and his brother communicated telepathically, I decided to look up how this happens. I found out that this occurs on “accident,” or “special circumstance.” I site I found this information on was: http://www.wingmakers.co.nz/Telepathy.html.

After reading this article I decided to look up brain-computer interface. I found out that the device the brain is communicating with picks up it’s actions by the brain waves. Using the brain waves, people can use a computer, robot, rehabilitation treatments and much more without lifting a finger. I also found out that the University of Southampton conducts many experiments on the topic of brain-computer interface.

I think Adam’s topic is very interesting, and he had a great topic/ post. I found Adam’s story about his football game very surprising and weird, but I also thought maybe it was just luck, or just a gut feeling he should have thrown the ball deep. Just like how sometimes you might say the same thing as your friend or someone at the exact same time. Its not exactly b2b, but just accidentally said at the same time. I think to further Adam’s reasoning on his belied that he and his brother, Alec, communicated telepathy, Adam should test his experiment more. Maybe another situation will happen just like the one in the football game. He should also try to find other sets of twins and interview them, and ask if anything like this happened to them. Again great post and cute picture of you and your brother.

The b2b example here seems to be very confusing, as it seems that person two is just receiving LED flashes and associating them with numbers. This site explains the experiment in a simplified manner. http://technabob.com/blog/2009/10/26/brain-to-brain-communication/
The computer is pretty much just a way for the two to use the EEG amplifiers. The whole idea behind the experiment is just trying to find out if one brain can talk to another through brainwaves. BCI examples are plenty, and I can understand the connection from BCI to B2B. If a brain can communicate with a computer, why can’t communicate with another brain?
Truthfully, there is so much we don’t know about ourselves and the oddities we have seen with our brains that who knows what’s possible? People have gone through trauma and ended up with newfound knowledge that arose from nowhere. Just think about déjà-vu. Hopefully one day we will be able to make some steps towards things like B2B… but how are teachers going to prevent students from brain cheating at that point?

Adam good post, i liked the information you gave and how you incorporated a video into the post, but one thing. As Bobby and Jesse said, it doesn’t have to be an example of B2B. It could also be that you have been around one person so much, that you can predict what they will do next. I would like you to explain this more also. I agree with Monimonika that it would be closer to mind reading than telepathy.

Adam, is it possible to describe to me hwo this could be an example of B2B ebcause in my opinion it could just be because you just are there at the same time and could have similar idaeas. Either that or this could just be a bad example of B2B because when I reaserched this it seemed completly different. I found that it is done electronically but I do not know how you got this to be communication through the power of thought.

I don’t really get how this is really a demonstration of B2B. Just replace the sender with a computer or even just a typist pressing “1″ or “0″, and you get the same thing. What’s more interesting (and amazing to me) is that the receiver’s BCI can interpret the receiver’s subconscious (? is this the correct word?) detection of the difference in light frequencies without the receiver’s conscious help. I think this is closer to being mind-reading than telepathy.

As for the twins’ football play thing… Two words. Confirmation. Bias.

If your budget allows, or if you have a parent who donates such things, I would look into purchasing ThinkGeek’s “Star Wars Force Trainer:

I almost bought one for my son. Would fit in perfectly with the above, I think.
