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, reports The Sun.

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.

“If it’s 10 or 100 years in the grand scheme of things, it’s a material development in the course of human history.”

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.
