ABSTRACT
Mind is mysterious and complex. Thoughts were transferred from one mind to the other mind by
cognitive domains and senses. The scientific information is based on observation and analysis,
and research may benefit the most through initial real information. We have a virtual area in
mind; this area can help us for cognition of patients even if they do not speak. Physicians,
nurses, therapists, care givers can understand thought of patients with mind reading for the
successful treatment. Hence it shows the need for a modern approach to the mind reading in
medical science for novel treatment.

INTRODUCTION
Early Mind reading Techniques
Theories related with mind are wide-spreading,
mysterious and complex. Thoughts and images may
be transferred from one mind to another without the
mediation of the senses. Information may be enter the
human mind without communication of unknown or
identified ways. For years, the scientific information is
based on observation and analysis, and research may
benefit the most through initial real information. Previous
observations show that the mind can act in distance of
another mind without the usual mediator of words or any
visible means of communication 1,2. Action of a person
from a long distance is a scientific fact. The brain cells
(neurons) have specialized transmitter functions that
receive the impulses waves without` connecting to the
receiver transmits transfer sequence. It is known that
the initial transmission in the brain is associated with a
specific molecular movement, and physical vibrations
that occur can guide individual molecules with strong
continuous action. While their speed approaches the
internal and external movement of atoms and it is similar
to the phone function that in that site the receiver is
similar to the site at the other end and the change of
sound is by electricity and the sound is transmitted 1.
Thoughts waves may be transmitted from one mind to
another at high speed over thousands of miles in space.
No doubt some vibrations occur in the brain when a
person thinking and its waves spread outside of the mind
that its generating and transferring power is different in
different people 2.
During the thinking period and also when neurons
are active, a permanent chemical change in the nervous
system occurs and produces vibrations and transmits it
to the brain. Mind moves through brain waves move to
another. Brain waves can be adjusted by moving in one’s
mind and may be received consciously in the mind of
other person. When sender focuses his mind for some
minutes and increases his attention to the receiver, some
information of the individual mind is received in the
mind of` the sender in a short time. Great knowledge
of mind reading has long been recognized, but there is
very little information about the theory and application
of research `to achieve more with facts and real training.
Related theory of mind has been expanded and revised
by philosophers. This ability has been investigated by

researchers. They found that individual sensitivity and
understanding to read the minds of others is not equal 2,3.
Since people are aware of their characteristics and
abilities of mind reading, a number of studies over the
past few decades show that often just self-awareness is not
enough. But also distorted and adding this understanding
to do it does not matter 3. It seems, there is general
agreement that full self-awareness of being exists in many
and perhaps most of the areas of reading minds away.
Since the self-awareness is not enough on its own. But
it is also important to add distortion. It seems, there is
general agreement that full self-awareness of being is
far away from many and perhaps most fields.
Measuring the relative ability of individual sensitivity
is also important in reading the mind. Interpersonal
sensitivities are competencies that are not only critical
to everyday life and are dependent on the knowledge and
ability of the individual. Measuring the relative ability
of individual sensitivity is also important in reading the
mind. Interpersonal sensitivities are competencies that
are not only critical to everyday life and are dependent
on the knowledge and ability of the individual 4.
Most people are weak in judging their interpersonal
sensitivity and mind reading. The relationship between
perceived performance and actual performance in mind
reading in absolute and relative terms in the same age
group is negligible. A typical pattern of results suggests
that those in the lowest group of actual performance
estimate their performance to be very high 4.
While individuals in the highest estimate of the actual
performance sometimes have higher estimates than those
in the lower group of their own, they generally tend to
underestimate their relative performance. They can argue
that their competence is a prerequisite for judging the
relative performance of individual 5.Those that are less
competent in a field they are also unable to determine
how good performance will be like. This effect is shown
on those with the lowest skills in problem solving,
understanding of performance after training has been
declined 5,6. Then the main challenge is to achieve such
awareness and views can be with self awareness about
the actions that the scientific theory behind it has its
strong scientific processing of mind reading as its support.
Mind reading Strategies
Researchers divided mind Reading into two general
types Contact and Telepathic. Contact via is the contact
between the transmitter (or active agent) and receiver (or
passive agent) that helps to create an easy channel for
the passage of vibrations, thought waves, nerve currents,
98
or magnetic transmitter that can be felt by all senses.
Telepathic is by the transfer of “waves”, “vibration”,
“current” or “magnet” of the transmitter to the receiver
during Mind Reading through space 1.
Contact is the simplest and the easiest type of
demonstration and accomplishment and besides, the
best Telepathists is initially being thought using Contact
method and one leads to another. The brain of the sender
is stimulated by its active will and sends signals through
the nervous system. The receiver is in passive situation
and its brain sends no impulse into his nerves and he
communicated in an open neural circuitry (imparted) that
is “Nerve Reading” But certainly it is not Muscle Reading
because all the senses are involved and is responsible for
sending, transferring, and receiving a fine impulses from
mind to mind (Touching for some people may be the
witness of the fact that a delicate “magnet” is connected
to the person) 1,6. In Mind Reading by vision sense,
Contact is from the sense of sight through the eyes of
a person with high sensitivity. In fact, they are the ones
who send, transfer, and receive impulses from one mind
to another mind. In Mind Reading Contact by the hearing
sense, the ear is a very sensitive and it is responsible to
post, transmit, and receive impulses.
The Telepathy physical processes exist, Physical
changes occur in the brain of the suggestor and similar
physical changes in the brain to the brain of the recipient
of the suggestion. Between these two physical events is
a chain of physical events. The chain of transmission
can occur through a medium. Medium strength and
mental attributes has a role against any demand or the
transmission of thought in performance telepathy and
mind reading 1,7. It is a known fact for the cognitive
researchers and frequently rejects accurate and true
testing of that.
Intervening factors in Mind Reading
Narcissism is a failure in reading the minds of others.
Those who have narcissistic traits tend to have too
positive interpretations and implementations of their own,
including intelligence and charming 7, Positive personality
traits 8, and performance in a group discussion 9.
Other conditions, such as self confidence in the ability
of empathy and real success in finding reasoning of
mental states of another person have been confirmed.
On the other hand, the authority may be effective for
detecting the relative skills that are necessary 6.
People rarely have an accurate read of his ability to
read minds. Researchers have found that self confidence
of the perceiver in identifying of the lie is often unrelated

to actual performance; more over it is generally over
estimated 10.
Mind control is possible through covert operation of
the unconscious laws that promote and facilitate social
interactions of a healthy person. Common social rules can
be used 11. It was often an important matter in science
fiction and fantasy stories. Mind Control is a powerful
image and a different hypnosis and is able to control
and dominate her thoughts. If used in a society would
be dominated by the society to control their thoughts
and feelings 12 and it is an effective tool to improve the
performance of human resources and gives the power
of control to the manger. Modern education systems can
also benefit from it 13.
Brainwashing is different from mind control and if
occur the process is not directly visible14.The concept
of brainwashing was accompanied by researching of
the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov that mainly used
dogs as his sample not humans. Brainwashing has the
science of thought control in itself and its neural basis
for reasoning and cognition is in the brain, which in
turn is varied.
The neural pathways that include a network of
neurons with dendrites, axons, and synapses and new
data transmission or creative stimulus in this direction
confirm this theory. By using neuroscience, we can prove
mind control and role of it in brain washing 15. Because
of the communication between neurons, brainwashing
techniques become stronger when they are exposed to the
frequency and intensity incoming signals. Temporal lobe
is a responsible area for artistic creativity and spiritual
experience 16-18.
The real issue of sociology is that whether brainwashing
occurs often enough to be a major social problem. Some
researchers have misunderstood to brainwashing and
know it as a recruiting process19.
Advanced neuro-psychological techniques can change
people’s minds and they become a permanent part of their
popular culture. In the twenty-first century, the concept
of brainwashing was expanded in other areas and has
been applied “successfully” in criminal defense, child
custody, and child sexual abuse 20,21 .
A Modern Approach to Mind Reading
Neuroscience is in progress and neuroimaging is on
the rise. Beyond conversion neuroscience, brain imaging
begun neuroenchantment that is a form of sub-judicious
fascination with brain science 3,22. These methods
allow scientists decode general perception information
of ongoing neural activity 23 and used to unlock read
complex thoughts 24. However, brain scans have started
to find their way to courtrooms 25. Neuroscience studies
may have significant effects on the scientific reasoning
of Mind Reading 26,27. At the same time, the image
quality may fluctuate brain on critical reasoning a little
balance. Compared with graphical display of the brain,
the three-dimensional images enhances the quality of the
perception of Neuroscience Information 28-30 .
Images of the brain change the understanding
of scientific reasoning of mind reading; the data in
neuroscience seem to affect critical judgment. For
example, beautifying the famous argument with gratuitous
neuroscience, have nonexperts to assess the scientific
arguments more than what has lacked neuroscientific
adornment 29.
In addition, other researchers have recently replicated
these findings many times27. Additional preliminary data
seem to confirm Mind Reading more Human beings are
infamously irrational when entertaining certain beliefs
30
. Studies investigating magical thinking show that
individuals often uncritically accept anomalous events
even when they do not understand the fundamental causal
relationships 3,22.
CONCLUSION
Mind reading techniques are different, in modern
method was used from neurosciences. This science can
show neural pathway of brain in sender with advanced
imaging. Cognitive neuroscience involves cognition of
mind for mind reading with face cognition, penetration
to mind by senses, prediction of thought of peoples with
their face, behavior, speech.
Focus attention of transmitter was caused to
neurochemical changes in receiver mind in order to send
reply message3. Mind has great secrets and it involved
cognitive complexity 31,32. We need to understanding
cognitive domains communications for mind reading.
Many researches in functional neurosurgery are
associated with cognitive mapping system and in fact,
internal and external interference that will affect their
environment and includes a patient’s brain function makes
it easier. Changes in cognitive, behavioral, and social
improved. So, physicians need to understand of thought
of patients for the successful treatment. Hence it shows
the need for a modern approach to the mind reading. It
will show that the cognitive treatments led to enhanced
cognitive and mental performance is unambiguous. These
methods are designed to primarily be on one aspect
of diagnosis and treatment, and increase the focus on
cognitive skills. With mind reading according cognition

we can help to patients for themselves, their treatment.
