Telepathy — Parapsychological Association, Retrieved December 19,
2006 The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Fredric W.
H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research,
specifically to replace the earlier expression thought-transference. A
person who is able to make use of telepathy is said to be able to read
the minds of others. Telepathy, along with psychokinesis forms the
main branches of parapsychological research, and many studies
seeking to detect and understand telepathy have been done within
the field.
Telepathy is a common theme in fiction and science fiction, with
many superheroes and supervillains having telepathic abilities. Such
abilities include both sensing the thoughts of others, and controlling
the minds of other people. Transhumanists believe that
technologically enabled telepathy, called "techlepathy", will be the
inevitable future of humanity, and seek to develop practical, safe
devices for directly connecting human nervous systems.
