Well, they may be reported as having claimed such but I take it with a sizeable few grammes of sodium chloride.

Besides, even if possible, surely it would need sensors attaching to the head to detect whatever are the thought "signals"?

What is your un-cited source? The original in a respected scientific publication or some general journalist mis-representing that?

(Not that most of us would necessarily be able to read the paper even if sufficiently knowledgable. The big publishers like Elsevier have sewn up the scientific-papers trade very tightly and made access extremely expensive. Even many of the scientist authors now complain they are often unable to re-read their own past individual or contributed papers, unless they had ensured from the start, retaining copies privately!)
