Really not sure what to think of this....

Brains of 3 People Have Been Successfully Connected, Enabling Them to Share Thoughts
In the experiment set up by the scientists, two 'senders' were connected to EEG electrodes and asked to play a Tetris-style game involving falling blocks. They had to decide whether each block needed rotating or not.
To do this, they were asked to stare at one of two flashing LEDs at either side of the screen – one flashing at 15 Hz and the other at 17 Hz – which produced different signals in the brain that the EEG could pick up on.
These choices were then relayed to a single 'receiver' through a TMS cap that could generate phantom flashes of light in the receiver's mind, known asphosphenes.
The receiver couldn't see the whole game area, but had to rotate the falling block if a light flash signal was sent.
