Scientists from the University of Washington have finally achieved what was seen only in sci-fi movies till now. It is true that scientists had to use some very complicated apparatus and many hours to make this brain connection that would typically take two minutes in spoken words.

Despite all this, the research on these brain-to-brain interfaces, is valuable because it might one day allow patients with brain damage who cannot speak to communicate using other means.   Continue reading “Brain-to-brain communication over internet finally a success”

We need to avoid a common temptation nowadays: to discard whatever proves troublesome. Let us remember the Golden Rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’
