For example, affecting another person at a distance greater than 1 m?

We have been able to measure “telepathic” waves for over 150 years — since the first electrodes were attached to the brain and thus since the first electroencephalogram (EEG).

The output of the brain when “thinking” is very small (millionths of a watt), roughly a million times less than the output of Wi-Fi.

In my opinion, this shows that telepathy (transmission of thoughts at a distance) is unrealistic in humans — the electrical output of the brain is so small that it cannot be expected that it would be possible to transmit electrical impulses from the brain of the “transmitter” even over a minimal distance.

Information cannot be transmitted in any other way than electromagnetic waves (unless there is another, unknown force that does not originate in the phenomena we know, which seems unlikely to me).

Although I am not a neurosurgeon, I would see another problem with telepathy — do impulses in the brain of the “transmitter” produce a corresponding thought in the “receiver”?

If I compared it to computers — is the coding of thoughts the same for all people?

Computers work with zeros and ones, but the same combination of zeros and ones can represent this web page, holiday photo or video.

If all people’s brains were the same, a simple experiment should work — I will connect two brains with wires (through an amplifier), the first one will think about physics and the second one will reproduce exactly what the first one thinks.

And I don’t think that will happen.

But as I mentioned — I’m not a neurosurgeon.

Perhaps also because telepathy is not a functional means of communication, nature endowed us with ears and mouths to communicate with each other by voice.

It’s impractical, since it made our ancestors easier to detect, but it serves its purpose.
