Spanish scientists transmit thoughts from one brain to another

In a lab in Spain, researchers connected two volunteers using special headgear that read and transmitted brain activity. The first person simply imagined moving their hand, and those brain signals were captured and translated into tiny magnetic pulses.

The second person, sitting in another room, felt a faint twitch as their brain received the message, no words, no sound, no screens, just a raw thought passed from one mind to another.

It worked reliably more than 85 percent of the time and required no implants, making it a truly remarkable glimpse into how we might one day send ideas as easily as we send texts. From hands-free communication for people with disabilities to seamless teamwork across distances, this breakthrough is opening the door to a world where thoughts can travel like data.
