Telepathic superhumans with ability to read anyone’s mind could be real by 2038

SUPERHUMANS with the ability to communicate using just their brains could be walking the Earth within two decades.
That’s according to a top surgeon who believes it’s only a matter of time until our brains are connected to the internet.

Dr Eric Leuthardt of Washington University thinks that telepathy — or brain-to-brain communication — could be a reality.
“A true fluid neural integration is going to happen. It’s just a matter of when,” the neurosurgeon explained during an interview with MIT Technology Review.

He explained that telepathy won’t just mean chatting with our brains — but reading other people’s minds too.
The easiest way to achieve this goal, he believes, is to keep shrinking down computers until we can fit a powerful one into our brains.
“At the pace at which technology changes, it’s not inconceivable to think that in a 20-year time frame, everything in a cell phone could be put into a grain of rice,” he said.



“It’s going to happen,” he said. “This has the potential to alter the evolutionary direction of the human race.”
