Time Lords displayed the ability of touch-enabled mental manipulation; this manifested itself in a number of different ways, including [[hypnosis]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons]]'', ''[[The Ribos Operation]]'', ''[[Fear Her (TV story)|Fear Her]]'') mind-reading, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace]]'') thought sharing, ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') the ability to relieve dementia (at least externally caused dementia, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Shakespeare Code]]'') putting others to sleep, ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen]])''  mentally influencing the dreams of others ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'') and memory erasure. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'') They could also transfer knowledge quickly to another person by headbutting them. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'')

Time Lords were [[telepathy|telepathically]] linked to one another and could join the entire Time Lord intelligence as one. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invisible Enemy]]'') They could hold telepathic conversations over distances, but this was more difficult. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sensorites]]'', ''[[The Three Doctors]]'', ''[[The Pirate Planet]]'') They could converse with each over the [[astral plane]], although this ability required intense concentration, and an interruption might have fatal consequences for the Time Lord. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors]]'') Their telepathy extended to less intelligent animals. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'') In ancient times, Gallifreyans who were capable of blocking out the telepathic thoughts of other Gallifreyans were called Individuals. They usually had red-gold hair and often went on to become Young Heroes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible]]'')
