From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Psychic probe is a fictional device created by Isaac Asimov that can read and adjust minds. It can be used to retrieve knowledge from someone, willing or not. It can also change a person's knowledge or emotion.[1] In the works of Asimov, its largest use is in The Currents of Space, where its use is the chief plot device.
