Basically: yes. The effect would be the same if the subjects had to work together for reward by moving 3 objects into te same position (similar exepriments have been conducted). However the fact this is using some kind of indirect mind control, channelled together by software, of imaginary targets does give this an extra interesting dimension over 'just teamwork' I'd say. The amount of math/algorytms/control software and harware needed to get to this should not be underestimated as well. And it is again a step in the brain-machine interfacing world. Which, like a lot of other tech, might be used for good and bad in the future.
