Telepathy, from the Greek hahaha964;hahaha951;hahaha955;hahaha949;, tele, "distant", and hahaha960;hahaha940;hahaha952;hahaha949;hahaha953; hahaha945;, patheia, "feeling", is the supposed ability to communicate information from one mind to another without the use of extra tools such as speech or body language, and is one form of extra-sensory perception or anomalous cognition. This information is generally reported as being "received" in the same form as that from the conventional senses.

Because current science has no plausible explanation for claims of telepathic phenomena, "telepathy" resides in the realm of metaphysics, and cannot itself technically be called a theory of telepathy, since the varied explanations have various unbridgeable gaps to current science. The term "extrasensory communication" has had some use for describing telepathy, as using senses other than the 5 basic human senses (though, that a "sense" may itself have no organ for its sensing cause some to dismiss it).
