They found that the accuracy varied between the pairs with one managing to accurately hit 83 per cent of the pirate ships. Most of the misses were due to person sending the thoughts failing to accurately execute the thought needed to send the "fire" command.
Early brain to computer communication devices required many hours of training and required surgical implants.
Scientists have already enabled paralysed patients to control robotic arms and play computer games.
However, Dr Rao and his team believe their technology can be used by people who have just walked into their lab and do not require any invasive implants.
Recently scientists in Spain and France were able to show that they could send words to colleagues in India using similar set ups.
Those researchers recorded electrical activity from the brain and converted the words "hola" and "ciao" into a digital signal before electromagnetic pulses transmitted them into the receivers brain so they saw flashes of light that formed a kind of morse code.
Dr Rao and his team have now been given a $1 million grant from the WM Keck Foundation to transmit more complex brain processes.
They believe it may be possible to transmit other information such as concepts, abstract thoughts and rules as well as physical movement and information.
Dr Andrea Stocco, a psychologist at the University of Washington who was also involved in the study, said: "We have envisioned many scenarios in which brain-to-brain technology could be useful.
