Mind reading may refer to:
Telepathy, the transfer of information between individuals by means other than the five senses
The illusion of telepathy in the performing art of mentalism
Thought identification, the use of neuroimaging techniques to read human minds
In cognitive-behavioral therapy, mind-reading is considered a common cognitive distortion or cognitive error that usually contributes to irrational thinking. The concept runs counter to evolutionary psychology.
