Abstract
The limits of the human mind's capacity to communicate without the aid of electronic and physical media are a vital question in an era of ever-increasing digital communication. This study looks at a fictitious experiment designed to see if two people might communicate directly in their minds without the use of any digital or physical communication tools. A fictitious experimental model was created by calculating the probability that the other party would receive similar simple mental symbols and images sent by mental concentration.
The idea that human consciousness may have a quantitative or spatial characteristic that permits communication outside of conventional media is supported by hypothetical results showing that a percentage of participants were able to send or receive mental content with an accuracy higher than chance. The study opens up new research directions for future brain communication studies and examines the phenomenon's scientific context.
