Gee, cats knew how to do this for eons. Humans have lost this trait, so now scientists are trying to reinstate the ability, the governments will jump at this, to make us into puppets that listen to some central person or computer.
Most people would not even consider investigating whom is funding this research and cannot wrap their minds of how it could be used to control us.

This is actually very cool and could be a Holy Grail some day for effectively communicating with the uncommunicative/unable to communicate such as mutes, catatonics, and people in vegetative states.
I can see this being a massive benefit to people wrangling pulling the plug on a vegetative loved one if they can get in their mind and actually speak to them. As it stands, this is nowhere near possible yet, but these baby steps are quite profound regardless.

They should make the doctors have to tie to your brain when you go in telling them you are experiencing some major pain and they blow you off and tell you to get some tylenol. Maybe if they feel the pain they will not say it is appendix when the pain is coming from the spleen area of the body and send you to get a cat scan of your appendix. Gee, I know someone that had that happen.

They have tried imaging the brain to find what regions are responsible for the sensation of pain, but it really is a unique experience to every individual, partially due to the different genetic coding for pain receptors, the configuration of the different layers of neural networks within the brain as well as the context of when the pain is felt (eating, sleeping, working, sitting, relaxing). It's easy to distract someone so that they don't feel pain sensations with a video of a cool winter scene as opposed to being in a boring sterile environment.

How long until one of those three people claim one of the others mentally raped them with bad thoughts?
(sorry, couldn't help it considering the path we are all on these days).
In all seriousness, I wonder if this really is a good idea. We have issues with the race to thought police as it is, do we really want to make it actually possible?
but if there's any way this progresses to remote viewing inside someone's head

nah it was a great experience , it wasnt confusing , well it was at first but once we got the hang of it and agreed that it was happening it was easier to handle !
we even managed to get good enough at it , that we thought next time we can try to conduct a series of experiments and record them and share them !
Id love to discuss this in full on ATS and even have you all help us with whats going on from the data we collect but alas its forbidden

Well, this is a little scary. Kind of reminds me of the Borg and the collective in the making.
Neuroscientists have successfully hooked up a three-way brain connection to allow three people share their thoughts – and in this case, play a Tetris-style game. The team thinks this wild experiment could be scaled up to connect whole networks of people, and yes, it's as weird as it sounds.

We are doomed !!!!!!
