The DOD funding was just scratching the surface in describing the legitimacy of this research (funded by several other government entities besides). As to what constitutes telepathy, the terms "artificial telepathy" and "synthetic telepathy" are in common use by scientists involved in the development of a brain-computer interface. "Artificial telekinesis" also is used by scientists to describe how synthetic telepathy might eventually be used, such as the use of radio waves sent out by the brain-reading computer to operate machinery or even robots at a distance. I wouldn't get hung up on the words telepathy or telekinesis as they are evolving different meanings. The new technology is developing means that make it appear as though humans are possessed of telepathy and telekinesis. At any rate, it's clear to me from the interview that Kaku isn't referring to metaphysics but to science.
