Were no strangers to crazy DARPA projects around here, but this one especially strikes our fantastic fancy. The agencys researchers are currently undertaking a project -- called Silent Talk -- to "allow user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the use of vocalized speech through analysis of neural signals." Thats right: theyre talking about telepathy. Using an EEG to read brain waves, DARPA is going to attempt to analyze "pre-speech" thoughts, then transmit them to another person. They first plan to map peoples EEG patterns to his / her individual words, then see if those patterns are common to all people. If they are, then the team will move on to developing a way to transmitting those patterns to another person. Dream big, thats what we always say!

DARPA working on Silent Talk telepathic communication for soldiers
