Grace Kane The setup involved two labs on different ends of campus. In one lab sat the receiver, Andrea Stocco, with a device on his head that beams a focused magnetic field into his brain. Across campus, in another lab sat the sender, Rajesh Rao, wearing a cap outfitted with electrodes. “The question was whether we could transmit information from one person’s brain directly to another person’s brain,” said Rao. So to recap: Rao had the thought. The EEG electrodes on his head recorded it, and software translated it into a digital message. That message zipped across the Internet, where it gave a command to the magnetic coil on Stocco’s head. That device zapped the part of his brain’s motor cortex that controls his right hand.
