Scrutinising Dalek history during the Time War, the Time Lords understood that both the interrogation machine and the duplication machine were refinements of the earlier Mind Analysis Machine. By that time, specialised units were adapted so that thought patterns could be read by bringing the skull into contact with the Daleks' suction cups.
