London:
Ever wanted to communicate your thoughts without speaking a word? British scientists have created a system for "brain to brain communication", a development researchers claimed will allow people to send thoughts, words and images directly to the minds of others.
The system, developed by the researchers at the British University of Southampton, has been hailed as the future of the Internet, which would provide a revolutionary way to communicate without the need for keyboards and telephones.
It was claimed the technology, the first of its kind, would allow people to send thoughts, words and images directly to the minds of others, particularly people with a disability.
"This could be useful for those people who are locked into their bodies, who cant speak, cant even blink," said the lead scientist Dr Christopher James.
However, he cautioned that his experiments were "the first baby steps" towards technologies that would allow people instantly to send thoughts, words, and images directly into the minds of others.
Scientists used "brain-computer interfacing", a technique that allows computers to analyse brain signals, that enabled them to send messages formed by a persons brain signals though an internet connection to another persons brain miles away.
