Performance in group telepathy experiments as a function of target picture characteristics/Les performances dans les experimentations de telepathie en groupe en fonction des caracteristiques de l'image cible/Rendimiento en experimentos grupales de telepatia en funcion de las caracteristicas del objetivo/Leistung bei experimenten zur gruppentelepathie als funktion der merkmale des zielbildes
Data on telepathic group communication of emotions, as evoked by slide pictures, were analysed with a view to identifying critical picture characteristics. Performance was related to 6 psychological picture scales as well as to 2 scales measuring the pictures' tendency to evoke electrodermal (EDA) and heart-rate (HR) responses, respectively. All 8 picture scales were merged into a composite scale, reflecting negative arousal (NA). Based on this scale, a negative arousal discrimination (NAD) scale was constructed. An old data set, obtained from 845 participants, and a new one, obtained from 652 participants, were analysed, both separately and together, with relative hit rate (hit rate in relation to response tendency) as the performance measure. Significant interstudy reliability was established. Participants discriminated between 2 types of negative pictures: those with high and those with low negative arousal potential. For negative pictures, the NAD scale was significantly positively skewed, with a remarkably small p value for the total data set (p = .000001). This skewness could largely--but not fully--be accounted for in terms of a significant (p = .0003) negative correlation between the NAD scores and number of receivers. The major findings tended to be clearer in the new data set than in the old one. Various \"natural\" explanations of the positive results are discussed and dismissed as unlikely. A simplified experiment for future replication experiments is suggested.

Reanalyses of group telepathy data with a focus on variability/Re-analyses des donnees de telepathie en groupe avec un focus sur la variabilite/Reanalisis de datos de telepatia grupal con un foco en la variabilidad/Reanalysen von daten bei gruppentelepathie fokussiert auf variabilitat
Reanalyses of data from experiments on telepathic communication of emotions, as evoked by slide pictures, between groups of senders and groups of receivers are reported. In the present study, variability in performance rather than level of performance was in focus. Fits between variability in distributions of hits expected by chance and variability in empirical distributions were explored. The expected distributions were derived by means of the hypergeometric distribution, which provides the number of successes in a sequence of n draws from a finite population without replacement. Session level analyses showed that the variability in hit-rate was smaller than that expected by chance, particularly when the session groups who started as senders and those who started as receivers were analyzed separately and when the geomagnetic activity was low. Monte Carlo analyses indicated that these results could not be explained by stacking effects. Individual level analyses did not show any effects. Ina second part of the study, the variability of responses to the individual target pictures was explored. The variability differed significantly among the pictures. Simulation showed that this effect was not attributable to stacking effects. Two predictions to be tested in an ongoing replication experiment are presented.

Cell-to-cell communication: from physical calling to remote emotional touching
The emerging paradigm of cell-to-cell communication represents a transformative shift from device-mediated contact to bio-integrated, emotion-driven interactions. This article introduces a novel, multi-layered framework for enabling biologically integrated communication between cells, devices, and computational systems using the paradigm of Molecular Communication (MC). Moving beyond traditional digital interfaces, the proposed architecture, comprising in-body, on-chip, and external communication layers, models and processes intercellular signaling via molecular emissions, implantable biosensors, and nano-electronic processors. Theoretical foundations are extended to fractional-order diffusion systems and neuromorphic decoding, capturing complex behaviors in realistic biological environments. We further propose a cross-layer molecular digital twin model for context-aware interpretation and feedback. The framework’s applications are grounded in the molecular underpinnings of emotion, where neurotransmitters like oxytocin and serotonin mediate prosocial behaviors and affective states through cell-to-cell signaling. For instance, remote emotional interfacing leverages MC to modulate oxytocin release, mimicking natural empathy circuits, while consensual telepathy draws from BCI-mediated neural pattern sharing, extending molecular-level decoding to cognitive-emotional relays. These are not mere metaphors but extensions of established neurochemical pathways, as evidenced by recent studies showing serotonin fluctuations amplify context-specific emotions. This work thus bridges cellular mechanisms to higher-order phenomena, ensuring scientific rigor in bio-digital systems .

Dead until dark
Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much - not because she's not pretty - she's a very cute bubbly blonde - or not interested in a social life. She really is ... but Sookie's got a bit of a disability. She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting all her life for. But Bill has a disability of his own: he's fussy about his food, he doesn't like suntans and he's never around during the day ... Yep, Bill's a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind. And then one of Sookie's colleagues at the bar is killed, and it's beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim ...
The cultural evolution of mind reading
No parent needs reminding that children are born with a surprising set of abilities. But children still need many hours of guidance and instruction. Heyes and Frith review one particular social cognitive skill: reading the minds of others (or at least working out what other people are thinking and feeling). An unrefined capacity for “mind reading” is present in infants, but teaching is necessary to develop the full-blown capacity seen in adults. The authors draw parallels between learning to read and learning to read minds. Science , this issue p. 10.1126/science.1243091 It is not just a manner of speaking: “Mind reading,” or working out what others are thinking and feeling, is markedly similar to print reading. Both of these distinctly human skills recover meaning from signs, depend on dedicated cortical areas, are subject to genetically heritable disorders, show cultural variation around a universal core, and regulate how people behave. But when it comes to development, the evidence is conflicting. Some studies show that, like learning to read print, learning to read minds is a long, hard process that depends on tuition. Others indicate that even very young, nonliterate infants are already capable of mind reading. Here, we propose a resolution to this conflict. We suggest that infants are equipped with neurocognitive mechanisms that yield accurate expectations about behavior (“automatic” or “implicit” mind reading), whereas “explicit” mind reading, like literacy, is a culturally inherited skill; it is passed from one generation to the next by verbal instruction.

Technologies for intuition : Cold War circles and telegraphic rays
\"Cold War paranoia can only partly describe or explain the 20th century dreams of telepathy. The nightmare shades of mind control and crowd frenzy have long alternated with the pastels of love and collective effervescence. Both extremes materialized over time, along tangled circuits of wars, events and interactions staged across borders since at least the 19th century. The Cold War and its fences fed fascination with the workings and the failures of contact and communication. Opposed sides accused each other of jamming media and spinning propaganda even while they mirrored fantasies of connection. This book contrasts and connects Russian and American channels and means to check channels, with special attention to intersections of the telepathic with the theatrical. It theorizes links between historically layered struggles over technologies for intuition and dominant models of communication, commonsense or theoretical. It demonstrates that theories resting on models of individual sincerity and of dyadic communication warp understandings of the USSR and Russia--and thus of the USA, as well. It proposes that attention to the means of making and checking contact, that is, to the phatic functions in language, offers a way out of the impasses and paradoxes of paranoia\"--Provided by publisher.

All Things will be Dominated/Controlled by Humans’ Imaginations in the Next Generation of Internet of Brains
Fifty years ago, an intriguing concept was proposed that relied on Internet technology, known as the Internet of Things. Over time, this idea has evolved into the Internet of Everything. Recently, the concept of controllable telepathy, also known as two-sided dreaming, has emerged, which has generated significant interest. In this study, the foundation of this concept is referred to as “Imagine and Do,” and it is believed that quantum processors are necessary for its implementation. The “Imagine and Do” concept is a step beyond the Internet of Brains as it enables humans to have control over everything besides the Internet. The proposed idea envisions using quantum on-brain microchips, which would allow individuals to connect without needing physical infrastructure, external user interfaces, or augmented reality/virtual reality tools. Through the combination of neurotechnology and quantum communications, people could remotely control any object anywhere in the world, extending to other dimensions as well. This study refers to such individuals as quantum-brains (QB) or the “Generation QB”. Additionally, this study proposes another concept called “Superhumans” to refer to future humans.Please check inserted city is correct for the affiliation.Yes, I confirm.
