Telepathy is a stretch. We don't really know FOR SURE if telepathy is involved in the many cases where a man or woman predicts something and it ends up becoming true, or reading a person's mind and knowing exactly what they are thinking of.
Telekinesis? Out of the question. The brain can only be involved with its host, and therefore cannot physically affect objects outside. Now before you go and contradict me on my two points, remember that I said "hysically". Telepathy is very controversial, but does not leave without giving a shred of merit. There are tests which there are some pieces of evidence where twins were put in separate rooms where they would be able to know what they were thinking about or reading what they were looking at on a television screen. They knew exactly what was going on BUT. Who's to say that they didn't already know what they were thinking of or what they were seeing?
Well I think telepathy could be possible in a sense if we hooked up a wireless transmitter to you mind then a receiver to others and the brain adapted to it well it possible just who will want to fund such a project....if you knew everything anyone knew why would we want to argue anything.
That's slightly plausible, but the wireless transmitter would have to be able to bring about a change in air vibrations. This sounds more like an environmental thing rather than a technological one.
It was merely an example. I meant things along those lines (i.e. mental powers beyond that of what we are currently capable of.)
Although if we could amplify brain waves and have them interact with gravity (not sure how its possible) then maybe you might have some sort of telekinesis going on.
Well with the artificial ear there is a special processor that linked the mind by send a series of signals to nerves, so the electronic to brain thing is possible its just how the system is set up.

But like Strop said the only plausible way to alter the brain is through air vibration, i.e. a different environment. A processor would work, but only if the signals altered the brain in the way that air vibrations would.
You are talking about a hearing aid right? That's exactly what it does: tweaks the air waves that come in through the ear to make it audible. I'm not quite sure on this, but this is at least what I THINK the function works. I'm not an ear person; I'm a brain and skull person XD
vibrations I thought it was a chemical/electric signal within the neurons of the brain that controlled everything...anyways I think he was talking about the ear and how it works because threw air vibrations the ear drum picks those up which are transfered into hair like structures within the ear that move with the vibrations...balance is actually a liquid in the ear that sort of levels off...when you spin you alter the liquid and you become dizzy because your brain cannot adjust you vision..you see what your mind sees and the eye is altered by your senses....supposedly the eye itself receives light info upside down form what your mind sees

We'd have to somehow redefine 'telepathy' first. For example we could learn to communicate by smell or something but if people adapted to respond inherently without framing it conceptually, what would we call the resultant phenomenon? 8D
Things like telepathy, as freakenstein has said, are currently hard/impossible to verify because it's anecdotal and necessarily experiential.
So its basically JARGON....to confuse us simple minded people into something like your more intelligent because you have a better vocabulary at hand
I won't disagree: much of the skill in medicine is retranslating all that jargon into plain English.
However the terms exist because they do form an integral part of the knowledge network upon which we gather evidence, develop methods and develop methods of gathering evidence. Those terms provide consistency and rigour and are essential for our communication, without which we would not have the means for rational progress.
