mind-meld

Psychic connection technique

Mind-meld is a merging of thoughts or consciousness between two people, drawn from Star Trek's telepathic Vulcan technique.

In everyday use, it describes uncanny mutual understanding or seamless collaboration: After working together for years, they could practically mind-meld.

As a verb, to mind-meld is to achieve this connection: We need to mind-meld on this project before the meeting.
