This exactly shows that our brain has tremendous rehabitability after
severe trauma like stroke or cutting the brain into half and putting them
together. Therefore, a lot of mental power is unfound or unexplored yet.

How about this. I find you a guy with such strong mental power and have
him to be tested in a carefully controlled experiment. Then publish the
positive result in some reputable refereed journal so that let telepathy
be established as a prominent fact or the first astonishing
scientific finding in 21st century. Do you know any source or organization
willing to do that?
