Definition: Coined by F. W. Myers (1843 - 1901) in 1882, the label telepathy is applied to the psi ability of being able to read the thoughts or emotions of others without the use of normal senses.
Telepathy is supposed to occur without special actions or efforts by the person whose thoughts are being read. Thus, their thoughts are revealed without their permission or, indeed, without their even realizing it. The entire responsibility for the action rests with the person who claims telepathic powers.
Furthermore, the transmission of information is not supposed to occur with the assistance of any special machines or devices - the only things involved are two human minds, one being "read" and one doing the "reading."
