It is worth noticing that the telepathic ability may be present in
several animal species given that it is the number of interconnections
what gives computing power and even small brains, provided they have
the necessary `hardware` (resonators), can exhibit this roperty. This
can be one of the reasons why few animal species have more than very
basic `languages` (more like codes). One interestng speculation is
that dolphins and whales may have very elaborate thought
communication, given that water transmits electrical signals more
efficiently than water (can somebody test this idea?). That would
explain why despite their big brains they don`t have more articulate
languages. This fact is linked to the lack of complex manipulators,
which supposedly were instrumental (pun) in the development of the
brain language areas. Though some phenomena can be explained by
uncoordinated, autoorganizative control (anarchy seems to be able to
create perfect orders), where each unit proceses individually
information according to local rules, some of these phenomena may be
the result of this unseen communication. The development of the
neocortex and its ability to elaborate the complex world-models needed
to control the manipulation possible by the hand (always in a setting
of simultaneous determination), would have led to the atrophy of the
telepathic ability, despite its survival advantage. As evolutively
acquired abilities tend not to be lost but just go dormant, extreme
experiences can lead to the waking up of these latent ability. It can
be tested statistically by a strong correlation of soldiers, secret
agents or common people developing schizophrenia-like symptoms after
going through a life threatening situation.
