The Latest in IT Security

For the first time, scientists have been able to send a simple mental message from one person to another without any contact between the two, thousands of miles apart in India and France. Research led by experts at Harvard University shows technology can be used to transmit information from one persons brain to anothers even, as in this case, if they are thousands of miles away. It is kind of technological realization of the dream of telepathy, but it is definitely not magical, Giulio Ruffini, a theoretical physicist and co-author of the research, told AFP by phone from Barcelona. Then, this message was emailed from India to France, and delivered via robot to the receiver, who through non-invasive brain stimulation could see flashes of light in their peripheral vision.
