The first two paragraphs are full of generalizations and vague statements without sources. The lists at the bottom need extensive additions or, as they present issues of maintenance, could be removed.
These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.
Telepathy was the psychic ability to sense and manipulate thought, which often manifested as mind-to-mind communication. The term could also be used to describe and was often linked to mind-control and certain types of hypnosis.
Telepathy could take varied forms: from an exchange of images, experiences (TV: The Three Doctors), to associated emotions and even mind-to-mind "conversation" between two or more individuals. (AUDIO: Worldwide Web) However, it was possible for a skilled telepath [who?] to monitor the minds of others without being detected. Some species and individuals [which?] could use their telepathy at a distance, but some [which?] needed to be in close proximity and others [which?] needed to touch the subject they wished to "read". Time Lords, for example, tended to be touch-telepaths, but weren't always limited in this fashion. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace, The Lodger)
TARDISes such as the Doctor's Type 40 had telepathic abilities through dedicated systems known as telepathic circuits. The circuits translated thoughts (TV: Boom Town) and any language for the passengers. (TV: The End of the World, The Fires of Pompeii)
A rare mineral known as matricite could block telepathy. (PROSE: Synthespians™)
On Yemaya 4 in 2257 several human colonists developed telepathic and telekinetic abilities. (PROSE: Sleepy)
The Eleventh Doctor used a headbutt to telepathically transfer a large amount of information, including general background information, to Craig in order to explain why he was there. (TV: The Lodger)
