POTENTIAL TELEPATHY?

IT'S NOT TELEPATHY, BUT IT IS NEAR TO BE

Telepathy: "Supposed communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses."

If for some reason we were conscious but unable to speak, how would we communicate with the rest of the people? Recent research conducted at the University of San Francisco (UCSF), by Josh Chartier and Edward Chang, allows the generation of synthesized spoken language, from about 100 brain signals responsible for precisely coordinating the movements of lips, jaw, tongue and larynx, inducing our breathing to form words and sentences. Only the medium used (electricity) separates the definition of telepathy from what has been achieved. 5 volunteers who were being treated for epilepsy read phrases aloud, while a grid of 256 electrodes placed on the surface of their cerebral sensory motor cortices recorded and measured the resulting signals. Computational models based on these data allowed researchers to decode the way in which the patterns of activity of speech brain centers contributed to generate particular movements in their vocal tracts. Later, the simulated movements of the vocal tracts were transformed into sounds, generating intelligible synthesized speech. The sound patterns of the individual words synthesized from brain activity were very similar to those originally spoken. The model can also decode the acoustic differences between participating voices and can also do so even when the participants mouthed sentences. Now, enormous possibilities are open.

NEXT : TELEPATHY

The skeptical physicist Freeman Dyson (85 years), argues that transmission of amplified brain wave and their reception in other brains will allow the sending and receiving of feelings and thoughts (telepathy), by physical means. This will be according to him, one of the great technological changes of the next 50 years.For it he foresees the use of small transmitters-receivers, installed in vivo in human brains in kilohertzs range in amounts sufficient to transfer the activity of millions of neurons to the outside. A system of tiny intrabrain transmitters (105) and another outside (105), will remain interconnected to all 1011 neurons. Microwave signals will be encoded to determine the activity of individual neurons (1011).Each individual can disconnect their networks which will remain as a fundamental right if their privacy is invaded. It is expected that this kind of telepathy alter the rules of human activities on constructive rather than destructive way.

PRONTO:TELEPATIA

El físico escéptico Freeman Dyson (85 años de edad), sostiene que la trasmisión amplificada de ondas cerebrales y su recepción en otros cerebros permitirá el envío y recepción de sentimientos y pensamientos (telepatía), por medios físicos. Este será según él, uno de los grandes cambios tecnológicos de los próximos 50 años. Para ello preveé el empleo de pequeños trasmisores-receptores, instalados en cerebros in vivo, en rango de kilohertzs en cantidades suficientes para transferir la actividad de millones de neuronas hacia el exterior. Un sistema de pequeñísimos trasmisores intracerebrales (105) y otros 105 extracerebrales mantendrán interconectadas a 1011 neuronas. Las señales de microondas estarán codificadas para determinar la actividad de cada una de las 1011 neuronas. Cada individuo podrá desconectar sus redes a voluntad siendo este un derecho fundamental si su privacidad es invadida. Se espera que este tipo de telepatía altere las reglas de las actividades humanas en sentido constructivo más que destructivo.
