[edit] Description
A device of Goa'uld/Tok'ra origin, it is shaped like a large drawing pin(thumb tack). The 'needle' is concealed within the 'head' of the device and rapidly extends with an audible ping when it is pressed against a persons forehead. The needle causes a brief moment of pain upon insertion but no further disconfort is experienced by the wearer.
Once activated by a handheld controller, the device stimulates the wearers memory centers, allowing them to recall events with perfect precision.
The device has also been seen to be used by in conjunction with a holographic projector, allowing other people to see what the wearer is recalling.
[edit] Purpose
[edit] Goa'uld
The device is more or less a mind probe. The goa'uld usually use it to obtain information from enemies. It sometimes acompanies torture. There are a few cases where they have used it deceptively. Osiris used it on Daniel Jackson so he could unwittingly translate a tablet for her.
[edit] Tok'ra
This device is used by the Tok’ra to study the thoughts of others. This is useful for recalling in detail crucial suppressed (or forgotten) memories, as well as for gaining useful information from the enemy. It has been suggested that two can be used in conjunction with each other to allow two people to share the same memory, thought, dream, or even interact with one another on an unconscious basis.
The Tok'ra later adapted this technology to operate as a za'tarc detector, by using it to analyize the subconscious mind and compare it to the consciou as a person recounts their memories and activities.
[edit] Use on Earth
The SGC have obtained a few. They used it on a Kull warrior to obtain the its homeworld.
