Telepathy in a virtual World - Science Test

Scientists are creating a virtual world to test out telepathic abilities. Interesting concept... The link attached has all the info.

Cheers,

to mentally control what happens on the screen would be a nice test.

What if;

A: telepathy requires a tangable object?

B: they are connected electronicly, could this somehow transmit their thoughts, brainwaves...whatever is being used for telepathy through the electronic medium?

I feel a better test would be two sepeart rooms. How could they send signals or ques to eachother if they are unable to see, hear, taste, smell or touch the other participant? IMO, introducing a medium by which they are connected seems to add another variable to the equation.

Actually, they are in different rooms and on different floors, as noted in this post:
