www.bbc.co.uk Of course, I've known this for years. Not that I do it—as such. Let me give you an example. When I see an ambulance speeding by, I send a prayer after the vehicle. Sometimes, I imagine the person inside, put myself in their brain and whisper encouragement. Is that 'telepathic'?
Probably not, because I don't get a response.
However, a team of US-led researchers have successfully achieved brain-to-brain communication between people. Scientists sent a simple mental message from one person to another without any contact between the two, thousands of miles apart in India and France.
Research led by experts at Harvard University used technology to interact electromagnetically with the brain.

For the experiment, one person wearing a wireless, internet-linked electroencephalogram or EEG would think a simple greeting, like "hola," or "ciao."
A computer translated the words into digital binary code, presented by a series of 1s or 0s.
Then, this message was emailed from India to France, and delivered via robot to the receiver, who through non-invasive brain stimulation could see flashes of light in their peripheral vision.
The subjects receiving the message did not hear or see the words themselves, but were correctly able to report the flashes of light that corresponded to the message.

Another way of achieving this is through the internet. But the scientists needed to avoid the talking and typing to establish direct brain-to-brain communication between subjects. Extra care was taken to make sure no sensory information got in the way to influence the interpretation of the message.
Researchers have been attempting to send a message from person to person this way for about a decade, and the proof of principle, reported in the journal PLOS ONE, is still rudimentary.

Now, I took the method I described earlier of entering someone else's mind a step further in my writing. Telepathic Liliha owns a ring that allows her to link with another person. To do this, she enters their body, sees through their eyes and reads their thoughts. She can whisper suggestions, which come across as the small voice we all hear—advising and comforting.
Solstice Publishing have just accepted my third in the Moonstone series, Shattered Shells. In this novel, she melds with a local thief and doesn't convince him. That's when she decides to find him. Along the way, she gets caught up in the lives of newcomers to the seaside town of St. Ives, Cornwall, trying to work out the identity of her George. Of course, she selects the wrong George which leads to all sorts of trouble.
Apart from her telepathic sojourns, Liliha is an ordinary woman, separated from her Australian husband and daughters, and going through the trauma involved with parenting teenage girls in the holidays. The following links will take you to an Amazon store in your own country.

So, what of the future? Will we all develop mind-reading abilities with those we love who live far away? Or maybe we'd rather stick to using our devices.
