History Main / ElectronicTelepathy

* Relays in ''Webcomic/AlienDice'' allow this.

* {{Website/The Other Wiki}} has an article on [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%E2%80%93brain_interface brain-brain interfaces]], which mentions experiments where the brains of multiple rats and monkeys, respectively, were [[HiveMind linked]] to create an organic computer.

* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': The MISAKA clones maintain their HiveMind by using their inherent [[ShockAndAwe electricity-manipulation powers]] to act as living radio transceivers. While Mikoto (who they were cloned from) is theoretically able to do it as well since she is stronger and has far greater control than them, she doesn't have the proper training to be able to interface with the network.
* In ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' this is one of the many advantages of having a [[BrainComputerInterface cyberbrain]]. Characters can communicate with each other without physically speaking, which is useful when trying to keep quiet to avoid detection or eavesdroppers. Of course, wirelessly broadcast connections are open to being spied on, so for very important conversations, cyborgs sometimes directly connect to one another using cables. In one episode of ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Stand Alone Complex]]'', Batou and the Major even keep a conversation hidden from the Tachikomas by hiding their cyber-telepathic communication and using their actual lips to have a completely different conversation -- at the same time!
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' and its many sequels has the Psycommu ("'''Psy'''chic '''Commu'''nicator") system, a machine designed to pick up the psychic emanations from Newtypes and use them as a means of communication. This allows a Newtype to control a properly equipped machine by thought alone and is usually used to explain how the pilots are able to control the various kinds of {{Attack Drone}}s.

* ''Literature/RebuildWorld'':
** Since Akira has a BioAugmentation wireless BrainComputerInterface, he frequently communicates telepathically with his A.I. VirtualSidekick Alpha. Akira uses his equivalent of BulletTime for talking to her super fast this way. Images and video are also occasionally sent (Alpha one time ImagineSpotting). The two's chatter is sometimes overheard. Akira eventually does this with another DifferentlyPoweredIndividual of the same type, the PlayfulHacker Shirou, whom he sets up a PsychicLink allowing for NeuralImplanting and SeeingThroughAnothersEyes.
** Cyborgs do this for their phone calls.
** The NinjaMaid SiblingTeam Shiori and Kanae eventually get communication devices that allow them this.

* Ruby of ''ComicBook/{{Mosely}}'' had developed an upgrade to the Metaspace that enables her to be aware of everyone connected online at the same time.

* Early iterations of ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' had a "mental radio" that allowed Diana to communicate telepathically with the Amazons on Paradise Island. As shown repeatedly in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'', Di could make "calls" without a radio due to her own mild {{Telepathy}}, but with the radio, even normal humans like Etta Candy and Steve Trevor could use telepathic communications, so long as whoever they were contacting picked up on their own mental radio.

* ''Film/TheBlackHole'': Kate McCrae shares ESP with the robot VINCENT. It's described in the novelization as a wireless computer interface implanted in her brain.

* In ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'' most people have access to the setting's internet successor via implants that make telepathy about as common as talking. The fiction notes "mesh communication" via RainbowSpeak.

* It's never spelled out, but this appears to be how the Martians' collective consciousness works in ''Webcomic/AMiracleOfScience'': [[SubspaceAnsible faster-than-light communications gear]] (which may or may not be the same thing as the radio communication demonstrated on numerous occasions) incorporated into the [[{{Nanomachines}} nanotech]] that suffuses their bodies.

* In Creator/IsaacAsimov's novel ''Literature/TheStarsLikeDust'' a "personal beam" allows someone to receive an electronic message sent through hyperspace across interstellar distances. Within a particular volume--an ordinary room--"space itself" is "polarized", and because the message is tuned to the brain waves of its recipient, the messages are practically impossible to intercept. Receiving requires no equipment, with the recipient of the message merely thinking "purposefully and with concentration". Sending--or simply engaging in two-way communications--does require the use of a "mechanical contrivance", which is small enough to be worn as an "ornamental button".

* ''Fanfic/ACertainDrollHivemind'': This is how the titular HiveMind communicates. The fic takes more time to discuss the limits of such telpathy, including signal range and the limits of the hardware (the Sisters themselves). In fact, 11111 says that the main reason for their DuplicateDivergence is simply that any single one of them can't absorb information from all ten thousand clones at once. Late in the fic, 11111 is too close when Mikoto lets loose at full power, and her connection to the Network is temporarily severed.

* ''Fanfic/ACertainDrollHivemind'': This is how the titular HiveMind communicates.

* This is how the MISAKA clones maintain their HiveMind in ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', using their inherent [[ShockAndAwe electricity-manipulation powers]] to act as living radio transceivers. While Mikoto (who they were cloned from) is theoretically able to do it as well since she is stronger and has far greater control than them, she doesn't have the proper training to be able to interface with the network.

* In ''Literature/AncillaryJustice'', this is used to link the cybernetic ancillaries to their ship’s HiveMind and used in a similar manner by the emperor, who is a HiveMind of linked clones. To a lesser extent, Radchaai ships and station can also use this to read the perceptions and emotions sent by implants in their human inhabitants, and ability Breq keeps from her time as a ship.

* ''Film/TheBlackHole'': Kate McCrae shares ESP with the robot VINCENT. It's described in the novelization as a wireless computer interface immolated in her brain.
