Also: in what way is a flashing light different than transmitted speech or text where it can be classified differently (b2b)?

Monimonika, you’ve obviously never lived with a cat.

*sniffle* It’s not like I didn’t want to have a cat. If it weren’t for my allergies, I’d probably have 2 or 3 cats using me as floormat. :'(

Anyway, can you clarify what you meant? My brain’s being slow today.

Understandably, it is going through moderation so it may be some time before it may show up there (if ever):

I don’t really get how this is really a demonstration of B2B [brain-to-brain]. 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.
