Biological Modem

[Daecon]

Could the brain ever develop modem-like qualities, such as you would see in a mobile phone or some such - being an electrical device that can communicate with other devices (other brains) without needing a direct physical connection?

 

Could this be a reasonable explanation of telelpathy?

The human brain already communicates with other brains with no phisical connection, we often refer to this as speaking.

or body language, or sign language.

So in those examples, the "connection" would be in the form of sound waves and motion rather than wires?

I'm talking about the kind of EM-type connection that a mobile phone uses, or bluetooth or whichever...

Jung would call it the collective unconscious...

The collective unconscious refers to a sort of gene pool of a priori programming collectively shared by all humans which allows our temperments to be grouped by specific qualities. The gene pool analogy is apt because modern psychology is of the opinion that these temperments and our personality as a whole are largely genetic in nature.

 

It has nothing to do with any sort of collective conscious thought process or anything of that nature.

Well I meant Jungian Synchronicity
