Make an analog signaling device that attaches to the
(outside
of the) back of a person's neck. It should detect nerve
transmissions in the immediate area and not be too
cumbersome.
Make a device that creates
physical
sensations. Attach it somewhere out of the way that still
has
a
few thousand nerve endings. It could be pressure,
heat/cold, mild jolts of electricity, whatever.
Attach these
devices to a bluetooth transmitter/receiver. Now with
practice people will have a whole new way to
communicate.

Instead of the back of the neck, attach two of the signalling devices to the palms of the hands, where they could easily be activated by whacking them together. One could then attach a Taser to a Clapper and incorporate them into a special garment. This would be very similar to what you propose, using off-the-shelf technology. |

Not so much telepathy - more like one of those devices you put a quarter in and hold the handles to see how great a lover you are by enduring electrical shock. |

And why are we in other: [general] along with Beer Riot Water Cannon? |

Telepathetic would simply be the adjectival form of telepathy. The adverb should also be possible, as in "they communicated telepathetically", by analogy with sympathy, sympathetic, sympathetically. Except we already have 'telepathic' and 'telepathically', unfortunately. |

agreeing with [normzone]- at least try Science:Technology
or Culture:Communication |

I thumb my nose at you sir! |
|
|
Yes, but when you do it does it cause a corresponding "physical sensation" pressure, heat/cold, mild jolts of electricity, or whatever" in either one of us? |
|
|
I think not. Of course, maybe you knew that already by telepathy =) |

A whole new galaxy of languages is born... I like it. Although most brain input
devices at the moment can only distinguish between a couple of different brain
states, which is just about enough to use dasher, slowly. This won't be viable
until we get much better sensors. Alternatively, we could re-appropriate a
small, under-used section of the brain and implant a comms chip directly.
That'll be fun. Just don't blow a fuse. |

People don't understand that when I offer an electronic skullcap, I just want to talk to them. |

Possibly it's the big spikes on the inside of it? |

Slightly interestingly, some weakly-electric fish
communicate using electrical impulses transmitted
through the water. This is sort of fish telepathy. |
