Telephone Telepathy

Just to show i'm not here just to mix things up and that i'm trying to join in in fair spirit.
I had a thought about telephone telepathy so emailed it off to Rupert (not really expecting a reply as he's naturally busy, though academics can be very friendly when you email them). Obviously its a little arrogant as well to think a personal idea is a good one, so i erred a little before i sent it, but in the end blogging and emailing is fun and too easy.

I don't think this is too uncommon an experience. There are obvious un-mysterious answers, but i dont think i was within ear shot at the time, in fact on a couple of occasions i have been driving in the car.
> Is it at all possible that the brain is acting as a kind of receiver of electromagnetic waves of this frequency? If it is then it's impressive that it can tune into specific frequencies as you would guess that it was receiving across the spectrum.
> It has now been shown that you can use reflections of electromagnetic energy picked up by transmitting devices such as mobile phones to study the 'life signs' of individuals. Under certain circumstances, i.e. when the phone is already ringing, perhaps the brain is picking up and becoming familiar with the 'feel' of the electromagnetic field for each person on the other end of the dialing phone.

I received a very nice email from one of his research staff describing it as interesting and that she would pass it along to Rupert. I feel like i have emailed my Minister of Parliament, like democratic science in action! Anyway my experiences have been whacked onto their database. Very nice people.
