A team created a method that allows three people to work together to solve a problem using only their minds.<\/p>\n<p>In BrainNet, three people play a Tetris-like game using a brain-to-brain interface. This is the first demonstration of two things: a brain-to-brain network of more than two people, and a person being able to both receive and send information to others using only their brain.
