Let's se if we can generate some useful discussion on a different axis of improbability.
If the human brain is a computer it is a computer that grows its' own hardware and writes its' own software and is continuously modifying both. I'm running Fredsoft2016.0308 myself but I'll be updated to .0309 by tomorrow. there must be a "kernel" for both "hardware" and "software" in the genes but it is almost certainly very basic. consequent tot his is tat nay psi ability involving the interaction of two brains is more implausible than an ability that involves only one brain. also, as the complexity of interaction increases the implausibility goes up. As examples Clairvoyance is more plausible than Empathy and Empathy is more plausible than verbal Telepathy. As a tangent this same principle would apply to much cyberpunk stuff A computer wired into your nervous system could probably eventually learn to read what was going on but one with the necessary sophistication wouldn't have much use for your brain..
