Virtual Reality Gaming System Tests for Telepathy
 
Scientists at The University of Manchester have created a virtual computer world designed to test telepathic ability.

The system, which immerses an individual in what looks like a life-size computer game, has been created as part of a joint project between The University's School of Computer Science and School of Psychological Sciences.

Approximately 100 participants will take part in the experiment which aims to test whether telepathy exists between individuals using the system. The project will also look at how telepathic abilities may vary depending on the relationships which exist between participants.

The test is carried out using two volunteers who could be friends, work colleagues or family. They are placed in separate rooms on different floors of the same building to eliminate any possibility of communication.

Nice to see our tax dollars hard at work.

LOL. Sounds a lot like Tron.

By the way, I can answer the question for free. No the participants will not be able to communicate with each other telepathically.

DUH
