You guys probably get enough /x/ questions as it is, but I have a question I haven't seen brought up before.
There is no good evidence for "psychic" abilities existing in humans; these being able to communicate or attain information outside of normal physical interaction using only your mind or consciousness. "Mind reading", knowledge of events taking place somewhere else without those things being communicated to you, etc.
However, I have a different question. Are such abilities theoretically possible under the models of reality that we have? Ignoring metaphysical or spiritual causes for psychic abilities, let's say that these abilities are able to exist purely within the rules of the material universe. Is this somehow plausible?
To reiterate, I'm not asking if these abilities currently exist, but if they "could"

Get a machine that does those things and put them in a human.

Well, information can be transmitted through the air using technology, so it could be possible for biological processes that could transmit and receive brain-to-brain communications?
Maybe. Probably not though because it sounds really fucking hard to do with biology.
Supposedly Sony released a paper in 1998 which supports ESP phenomenon exists. They ended their research when they discovered they could not monetize it. I wish I could find that paper.

buy 2 emotiv epocs
program sockets to communicate
make device that sets of a current based on whats incoming broadcast data from epocs outward over le internet
profit you know have a global scale brain connector.

That is because it is biologically impossible for it to happen naturally. All technology solutions are not "psychic" solutions and are not psychic in any way.

The ESPER lab was a real thing. People say they "proved" esp exists. Not having seen the body of work myself I can't claim it how valid it is.

No
Even if your brain had some kind of antenna in it that could pick up another person's broadcasted thoughts, nobody's brain uses enough power to generate a signal capable of being detected at any decent range.
You'd need some kind of super brain with way more wattage if you wanted to beam your thoughts for a thousand miles.

Attach a radio to your brain along with a computer that translates between an individual's brain impulses (which mean different things per brain) and data.
We will most likely never have this technology.

why not?

Thoughts can be transmitted from one person to another through sound waves.

It's not out of the question to entirely presume that a method exists by which two biological beings could communicate without any of the kinds of interaction required for communication between mammals.
Radio transceivers exist, presumably there might be some way that a biological thing can exhibit the same properties.

Bullshit.
