mindread
Perceive unspoken ideas
To mindread is to perceive another person's thoughts without verbal communication—a supposed psychic ability.
More commonly, the word describes attempting to infer what someone is thinking: Stop trying to mindread and just ask her what's wrong.
The noun mindreader and the gerund mindreading follow the same pattern.
