VI. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Imagine living in a world in which verbal communication is no longer required, a society in which telepathy is the norm,
where people would be able to “speak” to each other using only their thoughts.
Scientists have long been contemplating the possibilities of brain-to-brain communication in humans, and it appears
as though their dreams could become a reality within the next year or so. Such a system would be made possible via
major advances in the technology that have been achieved via recent trials involving animals.
Recently, the research has focused on humans. In one study, researchers placed two people in separate rooms and
gave them the task of playing a game of 20 questions on a computer using only their minds. They transmitted “yes” or
“no” answers with the help of an EEG cap, which tracked the brain activity of one person and triggered an electrical
current in the other person's brain.
One day, we could attempt to take it up another level in order to detect individual thought processes. These thoughts
could be transmitted to another person, influencing the decisions they make.
