brain-scanner
Mind-reading medical device
A brain-scanner is a device or machine that images or monitors brain activity, such as an MRI or CT scanner used in medical diagnosis: The brain-scanner revealed no abnormalities.
In science fiction and casual usage, it suggests a device that reads thoughts or mental states: I wish I had a brain-scanner to know what she's thinking.
