History of Telepathic Communication
The term “telepathy” was first coined in 1882 by Frederic Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research. While traditional telepathy remains unproven scientifically, modern research has made strides in brain-to-brain communication through technology, including EEG and TMS systems that allow basic information transfer between individuals.
