No, see my other comment.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a very blunt tool, and, in this case, the "mind reading" is really a binary switch that is triggered by thinking of something that produces a broad, easily detectable EEG pattern.

At best, repetitive TMS (rTMS) can bee used to temporarily make a brain area more or less active.

That's just a publicity stunt, the methods used will not lead anywhere.

This is akin to lighting a fire in a jar and claiming you're on the way to invent television.
