telepathic communication

Wordless mental exchange

Telepathic communication is the supposed direct transmission of thoughts or feelings between minds without speech, writing, or other physical means.

The concept appears in science fiction, paranormal claims, and casual hyperbole: After twenty years of marriage, we have telepathic communication—I know what she's thinking before she says it.
