'Telepathy' breakthrough hailed

Like I say mediums have been doing this for years, a problem is that some people who stick wires into the head are further back than they realize.

Andy,

Its hardly a discussion, and I made no such assumptions on your intellect.

"just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not watching you"

On the contrary,  I'm well aware of those always watching - especially those spoiling for a fight .......eh!

" off topic so we'll just leave it at " 

 I agree.

Be big be bold & and enjoy life.

Andy,

I'm sorry you feel threatened by a little more insight  than this artical offers, or that you agree with the conspiracy theorists fears. If to you these opinions are not "whacko" and you equally subscribe to them, then you are correct, its not my place to criticise that, its your choice. I will however share my opinion, like you, that those views, to me, should not hijack an otherwise fantastic new development. If you disagree with that then again that is your choice. Although that will have little impact on others assuming those that hold such views are indeed whacko's.

You are correct it doesn't say in this article, however as the article itself is somewhat vague iv found it is always prudent to delve a little deeper before posting, especially when posting somewhat unfounded and paranoid comments.

And I reiterate I did say "some"

I do however concur you are not a good fellow - but please don't let that stop you learning.

Andy,

With the utmost respect - be a good fellow, go do your research, then get back to me when you've found what I posted to be correct.

And I did say some!

Jeez, some of you on here worry me. This is not telepathy in the sense some of you nut jobs assume, that's an unfortunate choice of words in this article.

This technology is only effective in compliant patients with electrodes placed directly onto the brain, i.e. open skull,  something some of you already clearly have.

It cannot read minds in the pseudo non existent medium sense, it merely translates electrical signals in to associated words, and even that is nowhere near exact at this stage.

Its application for locked in patients in comas or speech impairment from strokes is obvious and should not be marred by you whacko's and your non existent conspiracies.

Looking at some of the serious comments on this story makes me think they haven't read the part where this is based on brain damaged patients?! Relax. Don't panic. Sit down. Your thoughts/secrets are more then likely safe :)

*Surely Kenneth Foster got 31 dislikes on his comment because of his aka name, not his actual comment??! :/ Gutted.

I think I've figured that out - it seems to be if you use very good punctuation, MSN assumes it must be spam. Maybe they assume none of us can use these funny looking symbols properly?

I just sit there and fiddle with bits of it until it accepts it.
