Brain-to-brain instant messaging, is it possible?

Imagine if it was possible for you to send a message to someone halfway around the world without having to speak or write, believe it or not it has been proven to be possible!

An international team of scientists consisting of neuroscientists and robotic engineers conducted an experiment and successfully sent a message over 5000 miles away from one person’s brain to another. It may seem like something out of a science fiction movie, but it is 100% real, this could the next big thing in our world.

The goal these amazing scientists had was to find out if it was possible to communicate directly between two people. To demonstrate, first the scientists had to read the brain activity from one person in India and then they inserted it into the second person who is sitting half way across the world in France.

The invention of this new technology can help certain people immensely; people who have impairments that prevent communicating with their voice, eye contact or sign language can be aided by this astounding technology. On the other hand if you think about it, it may seem a bit over the top and expensive than simply picking up your phone and sending someone a message or using your voice and talking to someone directly.

Just think about it for a second though, this experiment could be the first step to creating futuristic, better communication between humans around the world.
