mind probe
Mental interrogation device
A mind probe is a device or technique, usually in science fiction, that extracts thoughts, memories, or secrets directly from someone's brain—typically against their will.
The term implies invasive mental interrogation: The prisoner broke before they could use the mind probe.
Occasionally used figuratively for intense questioning: My mother's dinner-table conversation felt like a mind probe.
