A '''mind-link ''' is a temporary psychic connection forged between the minds of two separate individuals. This  It is formed, in part, [[telepathy|telepathically]], and allows the parties involved to share the entirety of each others thoughts, memories and [[emotion]]semotions.   More than merely [[telepathy|telepathic]] communication, a '''mind-link ''' effectively merges two minds into one, creating a gestalt for as long as the link lasts. Usually, at least one of the individuals involved must be a [[telepathy|telepath]] of some skill, though it is conceivable that a similar effect could be achieved through the use of technology. The exception to this is the intervention of a third party [[telepathy|telepath]], who can act as a psionic bridge between the two minds. The emotional intensity of the experience means that mind-links are typically short in duration, usually ending when the dominant [[telepathy|telepath]] breaks the link. 
This practice is associated almost exclusively with [[Vulcan]]s (who refer to it as a [[mind meld]]) but it is likely that [[telepathy|telepaths]] from other species would also be capable of forging a mind-link.
 It is possible for a [[telepathy|telepath]] to force an unwilling individual into a mind-link, but to do so without the consent of the other party is generally considered a gross violation.  The forging of a mind-link is considered an extremely intimate act , so it is more common for it to be performed between two individuals with a pre-existing emotional bond.
