[quote="FlameD":1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/ie98f2a]No. No it doesn't.
The whole "we only use 1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i% of our brains" is a myth. It's false. You don't constantly use the same 1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i% all the time, and the other 9/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i% is never used and has amazing superpowers.
It's like your muscles. You aren't always using all your muscles. If you're sitting at your computer, there are quite a lot of muscles you aren't using at the moment. But you can use them, if you do something else, like exercise or jog.
It's the same with your brain. If you do one activity, you're using one section of your brain. If you do something else, you're using another section. But everyone uses ALL of their brain at some point. 1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i%.
And telepathy itself is highly improbable. The brain sends CHEMICAL signals through the body via the nerves. And the chemical signals through the nerves are self-contained. You can't "read" them from outside; there's nothing to read. It's not like you leak chemicals every time you think.
Not to mention that, even IF you could read someone's mind from a distance, you wouldn't understand it. Everyone thinks in a different pattern. It's not like reading a book. Each person has a different thought pattern that would need to be understood and deciphered in order to understand anything they're thinking.[/quote:1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/ie98f2a]Yes, but those chemicals start with electrical energy. Electrodes do travel through the brain and the body, for example "Restless leg syndrome", a 1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i second long exitement of electrodes traveling through a leg.
Brain waves can also take part in reading minds. If brain waves escape the cranium to someone else's brain, it could be possible to see a little bit of what that person is thinking.
Some brain waves are:
Delta --- deep sleep, lucid dreaming, increased immune functions, hypnosis
Theta --- deep relaxation, meditation, increased memory, focus, creativity, lucid dreaming, hypnagogic state
Alpha --- light relaxation, "super learning", positive thinking
Low Beta --- relaxed focus, improved attentive abilities
Midrange Beta --- increase mental ability, focus, alertness, IQ
High Beta --- fully awake, normal state of alertness, stress and anxiety
Gamma --- associated with information-rich task processing and high-level information processing
