The actual paper summary is better: &amp;gt; Two of the three subjects are &amp;quot;Senders&amp;quot; whose brain signals are decoded using real-time EEG data analysis to extract decisions about whether to rotate a block in a Tetris-like game before it is dropped to fill a line. The Senders&amp;#x27; decisions are transmitted via the Internet to the brain of a third subject, the &amp;quot;Receiver,&amp;quot; who cannot see the game screen.

And researchers already have done BrainNet, A Multi-Person Brain-to-Brain Interface https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08632 Science doesn&amp;#x27;t stay still.

The experiment setting seems to me to be intentionally convoluted to sound impressive. Like it&amp;#x27;s just creative bullshitting. This is how it works: (Edited after scribu corrected me) 1. Senders make a decision by concentrating on flashing lights. They use EEG-cap to capture difference in spectral power between light flashing 17Hz and 15 Hz using the Welch&amp;#x27;s method. The choice is difference averaged over several epochs in 10-second period (must be very low paced game). Lots of signal…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1809.08632/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
