Telepathy is the communication of information from one mind to another by means other than the known perceptual senses. Telepathy is often associated with other paranormal phenomena, such as precognition and clairvoyance. While the existence of telepathy has not been scientifically proved. It is created by authors for their heroes and villains. The mechanics of telepathy in fiction vary widely.

telepathy - telepathy
Telepathy (from the Greek t??e, tele, "distant"; and p??e?a, patheia, "feeling") is the communication of information from one mind to another by means other than the known perceptual senses.[1] The word itself was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Considered a form of extra-sensory perception or anomalous cognition, telepathy is often associated with other paranormal phenomena, such as precognition, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. However, unlike psychokinesis, telepathy is a passive form of psionics. While the existence of telepathy has not been scientifically proved, some parapsychological research studies have produced favourable results, although scores significantly above chance are very rare
