Please folks, net.crypt is for discussion on cryptography. Please move
the ESP discussion out of net.crypt!

Yes! which is why the good psychics have security clearances and work for the DOD. And they are not allowed, by their classification, to prove the existence of what they do. Just as the NSA speaks not of DES, other than: use it! we like it! -- exit {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!sun!sunny (Sunny Kirsten of Sun Microsystems Inc.)

I wonder... Have you figured out yet how to decode a thought using
hardware. This may be our best start yet on an unbreakable code!!! :-)

They connected a microphone and EEG to a computer and showed a subject some simple pictures of a plane, boat, ect. The subject would then speak the name of the picture and the computer would indicate which word was spoken by turning on a light by the correct word. After a few correct matches, the scientists found that the computer was turning on the light before the subject said anything. The computer was matching against the EEG inputs only. (The author of the book said that he was afraid that the next thing the DOD was going to try was an antenna to replace the EEG electrodes.) -- Robert A.
