People Talk Brain-To-Brain For First Time Ever How did they do it? Pascual-Leone and colleagues attached electrodes to one persons brain in India and to the brains of three people in France, and then asked the person in India to send a message to the others. The researchers used an electroencephalogram, which records electrical activity in the brain, to detect the message from the senders brain. Then a computer translated the message into binary code and emailed it to France, where it was converted back into electric pulses and applied to the receivers brains via a process called transcranial magnetic stimulation. The pulses produced flashes of light in the subjects peripheral vision, which they could decode to find the original message. The study was published in the journal PLOS ONE.
