Scientists at the University of Manchester have created a virtual world to test telepathic ability.
Participants in a trial will wear a head-mounted 3D display and an electronic glove to navigate their way through a computer-generated world.
The people in the trial are placed in separate rooms on different floors of a building to eliminate any possibility of communication.
One will view a random selection of computer-generated objects--such as a telephone, a football and an umbrella--and will be asked to concentrate on and interact with one of them.
A second participant is simultaneously presented with the chosen object, plus three decoy objects, and asked to guess which object the other person is trying to transmit.
The system has been designed to make the task as realistic as possible. In addition to selecting objects and hearing the sounds they make, participants are able to hold and move them within the virtual environment.
"By creating a virtual environment, we are creating a completely objective environment, which makes it impossible for participants to leave signals or even unconscious clues as to which object they have chosen," Toby Howard of the university's School of Computer Science said in a statement.
The results of the experiment are expected to be published early in 2007.
I would hope they are keeping other testing methods under wrap, otherwise this system may be easily broken.
Armed with the information that two "telepathic" people will be in different rooms, and will be interacting with items through viusal manipulation and sound, people can organize a plan to communicate through their chices.
Telepathy is as normal breathing, dreaming, or riding a bicycle. Everybody experiences moments of telepathy. Just ask mothers how they know their children's feelings, even across great distances. Animals are very telepathic, they have to be. It is part of their survival strategy. It is only 'scientists' who can't accept the obvious.

At first I thought you were being facetious, but just in case...what?
Animals aren't telepathic. If they were, none of them would ever get eaten, run over, shot, etc., etc., etc.
People aren't telepathic either. This study and its results will probably reinforce every other valid and reliable study on telepathy and telekinesis...that under controlled circumstances it has never been demonstrated/replicated.
About thinking and feeling across distances...I love this one. Like whenever you are thinking about a friend you haven't talked to in a long time and they "magically' call you that day...must be telepathy. Or just a coincidence that you choose to dwell on and ignore the thousands of time you think about people and they don't call you. It's serendipitous, coincidental, accidental, and if you have a thesaurus add to the list...
... there is no telepathy, despite all the science fiction stories that exploit the concept. Any one who proposes to do a study on the subject flunked his basic IQ test long ago.Maybe what it proves is that there are too many fog headed people, even in supposedly intelligent organizations. After all, look at the collection of dumb politicians in Washington.
But you really can't stop people from making fools of themselves, or believing in any idiotic idea that comes along.
.... otherwise known as pure BS. Telepathy is a total crock and any truly intelligent person knows that. Only budding idiots trying to avoid ejection from a university would propose such a waste of time and money.
Those scientists should be appalled for pandering to superstitious nonsense such as "telepathy" -- there is no known example of any scientific demonstration of such powers -- there are an endless supply of kooky mystics who claim all manner of absurd nonsense, but that doesn't mean that legitimate science should pay any attention to them. Sheesh.
I can use telepathy. I can exchange voice, video, smell, people can move small move muscles on my body from distance and much more and all messages from me are transmitted to big number of people so I am a Mental Radio. One of the most advanced things I can do is to talk brain to brain and it is very fascinating, works 100% and it is really talk direct to brain.
Google creates an animated doodle that features a boy, a girl, Google's search engine, and a jump rope. But might there be darker, more analytical, more troubling interpretations to this tale?
When the sun goes down, that's when the iPad gets busy for folks with news readers. The iPhone? It's more of a daytime habit. If you're building an app for both devices, heed the lesson.
