It suggests speech can be derived from brainwaves alone, which would be more than just noise as you posted.
But as you said it's not telepathy, that is why I mentioned it is done with electrodes, which are ofcourse attached directly to the brain.
Independent of the theoretical leaning one wishes to adopt, the structure is always the same: we have to make assumptions and stipulate presuppositions in order for any scientific model to work. The presuppositions made by the “scientific” model are rarely explicitly discussed and very often taken for granted by those “doing science”. Among them are the following: • The assumption that systems can be analytically separated and studied in isolation. What we learn from those separated systems can be then put together to a mosaic of the whole: the analytical assumption. • The assumption that the most important and the relevant section of the world is described by material and energetic interactions: the materialist assumption. • The assumption that all causes are local and regular; they are mediated by contiguous contact and interaction of material particles that convey the energetic interaction, and by the same token that causes from a distance have to be and can be analysed in terms of local chains of particle interactions: the localist assumption. • The assumption that the world is regular, at least those parts of the world that are relevant for us. Stretches in time and in space are uniform: the regularity assumption. This is neither a comprehensive nor an exclusive list, but sums up what to me are the most problematic assumptions of the currently accepted model when it comes to the understanding of mind-matter interactions.
By doing experiments in the framework of science,
parapsychology subscribed to these assumptions, probably unwittingly
and also involuntarily. Every psychokinesis (PK) experiment that tries to
document a direct influence of mental events on material events assumes
that there is some sort of “influence” that is mediated by some sort of
agent – a “PK force”, some sort of radiation or similar regular influence
–, can be enacted and replicated by others and documented by stringent
experimentation.
Since conventional science is often also fraught with sources of errors
and mistakes, it has become part of the standard procedure to not only
do an experiment, but to repeat it, ideally by different experimenters and
in different locations or under different circumstances to probe for causal
stability and generalisability (Schmidt, 2009)
thats not true bedlam. Women are able to give me certain looks that can make parts of my body physicaly move. Even change shape!

Look at your hand, make it move, that is literally mind over matter.
Not at all. Your hand is connected physically to your brain with structures that are specifically evolved to respond to neural states.
Now, if you could look at MY hand and make it move, that would be mind over matter.

Everything is energy.
You're right about matching frequencies...
For scientists with Type I temperament, this loop is destined to cycle indefinitely in spite of the application of the most rigorous scientific methods. The stalemate can be broken only by Type I1 scientists who are willing to entertain the possibility that Nature consists of many curious phenomena, some of which are not yet adequately accounted for by prevailing theories.
It looks like a simple video game, but look closer and you can see that Scott Hamel is moving colored squares on the screen without touching any controls. He's not even moving at all. It's his brain waves that control the computer cursor.

Brain waves are the very weak electrical signals given off by the firing of millions of nerve cells in the brain. They can be measured by wires in a cap placed on the outside of the head.

If I claim that some facet of consciousness is 'quantum' with no way of proving is or isn't, or it being falsifiable, one might as well appeal to dark matter, or the adeledicnander force.

Our model may imply that, at the quantum scale, an underlying electromagnetically defined order may have been present, that was a prerequisite for the coding of synthesis and functional arrangement of cellular elements in biological evolution. Far infrared dynamics, reminiscent of coherent nonrelativistic super fluids in 3+1-dimensions, may have played a role. Finally, we address the question whether the identified electromagnetic fields may also influence neural systems in general and human (self) consciousness in particular. We are finding support for recent electromagnetic and stochastic zero-point energy field theories in quantum consciousness studies. The striking similarity of electromagnetic wave frequencies, detected by us in the biological studies, and in selected clay minerals, as well as in color spectra, tone scales and sound induced geometric Chladni patterns, may indicate that we identified the involvement of a universal electromagnetic principle, that underlies the observed life sustaining effects and also may have been instrumental in the creation of biological order in first life and quantum consciousness.
