The whole idea of reading your mind and manipulating it is not fully explained by

I can accept that a person can be taken to a detention center and using special instruments and cameras to find out if lies come from his mouth. Like a current discovery that the story of Pinocchio might be right, that when a person says a lie his nose will get "bigger". It has been detected that when a person says a lie his nose shows heat increment.
But, from here to use same or a different instrument or camera to manipulate his thoughts or will throughout signals or waves, that should be very interesting. Perhaps using a medium?
It is known that a product used in ships for seasickness, a kind of tea to relief those symptoms when traveling, when this powder is used blowing it in the air in direction of a person, it can cause that the person loses its will. From here, one can control the person. A chapter of Criminal Minds TV series is about this product.
This powder is also known to have been used by burglars in several parts of the world, when they entered into a house and blew the powder of the people sleeping in their rooms. From here the burglars were able to order them to give them money, jewelry, even raping the women without opposition. In one area of Maryland, some people complained that somehow their lost control of their will and obeyed the order to use their bank cards and pull money from the ATM and give it to a stranger. After the effect was gone, they remembered the whole event.
In some cultures, this powder is used by the shaman to control someone.
The production of this powder for seasickness was banned, I guess after the discovery of its other effects.
But this powder can't allow mind reading but mind control only.
Who knows is a new technology using a kind of radiation can imitate the mind control powder, hard to know.
But, physical reaction when people tell lies is already detected by a camera, and a powder to control minds is also factual. Even Jesus knew what people around him was thinking, so, who knows.
