"Thought transference" is a term used to describe the communication of thoughts from one person to another without any physical means. There are several synonyms for this concept, including telepathy, extrasensory perception (ESP), mental telepathy, psychic communication, and mind reading. Each of these terms describes the ability to communicate thoughts or emotions directly from one person to another, often without the use of traditional communication methods such as speech or writing. These phenomena have been explored extensively in literature and popular culture, and many people believe in the existence of such abilities, although they are often considered pseudoscientific by skeptics and scientists.
