Telepathy is the communication of messages or thoughts directly from one mind to another without use of ordinary vocal and auditory mechanisms. Telepathy exists across space; it has appeared in various forms among various races.
There are many different kinds of telepathy, including:
* '''Touch telepathy''': Physical contact must be maintained to engage in telepathy. The [[Vulcan]] mind meld is a form of touch telepathy.
* '''Intraspecies telepathy''': Telepathy can only be accomplished with members of the same species. [[Betazoids]] are intraspecies telepaths to a point: they can only send their thoughts to other empaths and telepaths, but can receive emotions and sometimes thoughts from almost any being.
* '''Psycho-projective telepathy''': Thoughts, emotions, and/or symbols are projected from one mind to another. The [[Halanans]] have a form of psycho-projective telepathy, and if a [[Vulcan]] has [[Central nervous system afflictions#Bendii Syndrome|Bendii syndrome]], they can unknowingly project emotions.
* '''Empathy''': Empathy is the ability to understand or feel the emotions of another being. Some humanoids have extrasensory empathy. A [[Human]]-[[Betazoid]] [[hybrid]] is a known example of such empathy, as are the [[Lumerian]], [[Napean]] and presumedly [[Deltan]] people.
Some species are as a race telepathic, such as [[Betazoids]] and [[Vulcans]]. Other species have very rare occurences of telepathy, such as [[Humans]]. The [[Ferengi]] and a few other races are unable to send or receive telepathic thoughts and emotions at all.
