Romulan mind probe

• Device developed by the Romulan Star Empire
  • Possibly in response to the loss of Vulcan telepathic talents through genetic drift (ENT Novel: Uncertain Logic)
• Developed as early as 22nd century, though likely in less effective form (ENT Novel: Uncertain Logic)
• Deep brain scan, identifying and recording thoughts and memories (ENT Novel: Uncertain Logic; DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges", "Extreme Measures")
  • Intense enough that it can result in catatonia or death (ENT Novel: Uncertain Logic)
