A sub-trope of Psychic Powers in which they're used by a psychic character, usually but not always a telepath, to detect the presence of other people. The scope and range of this detection can be varied; from sensing the mind of a guard around the corner to Professor X being able to detect the presence of every mutant on the planet. Sometimes the power is tied to the detection of a mind; machines can't be detected by the psychic (crewed vehicles can), and Psychic Static and the Psychic Block Defense can be employed against it. This may or may not lead to being detected because of the defense. Sometimes, the detection is limited to other psychics only. Appears in as many media as do the telepaths providing it, though like them, it's generally restricted to Speculative Fiction and Superhero genres. It's especially common in Video Games and Tabletop Games. In film, TV, comics, and animated media, use of this power will involve the Pstandard Psychic Pstance and high effort or contest with someone or something blocking your telepathic radar sweep can result in a Psychic Nosebleed. It's also common to see this represented in Film and Television with the searching psychic's eyes overlaid over the sought-after characters hiding place. Sub-trope of Psychic Powers, closely related to Telepathy. Commonly used by a Sensor Character. May also invoke a touch of Sensor Suspense. Compare Supernatural Sensitivity (for when a Psychic Power is used to detect the use of other powers) and The Force Is Strong with This One, and contrast Spider-Sense, for a much less focused and instinctual version that detects imminent danger. See Killing Intent for a version that anyone can do. |

Psychics such as Jean, Xavier, and Harry are able to do this in Child of the Storm - though as Harry's reminded early in the sequel, it's not always entirely reliable. Maddie, however, is the master of the trope. | |

In many StarCraft Expanded Universe novels, psychics can sometimes detect other psychics. Weak psychic detective Malcolm Kelerchian's only psychic power is detecting other psychics. Nova can detect psychics at great range, even when cloaked, but frequently fails to detect spectres. Head spectre Gabriel Tosh is very difficult to detect using this method. | |

All of the telepaths on the X-Men (Professor X, Jean Grey/Phoenix, Cable, Psylocke, etc.) have displayed this from time to time, though usually only when the plot calls for it. Other times, they seem oblivious to people hiding right behind a door. Professor X and Jean Grey can be seen doing this together in X-Men Forever #7 while trying to track Fabian Cortez. | |

Johrlac also naturally emit a particular psychic hum, and people who have spent significant time around one are able to sense that, even to the point of being able to tell apart different Johrlac (who are all virtually identical). | |

Dungeons & Dragons. Early editions had the detect life cleric spell, which could detect living creatures at a distance, and even through solid non-metal barriers. 2nd Edition introduced the psionic ability life detection, which allowed the user to detect the presence of living, thinking creatures within a limited area. Edition 3.5 had the Mindsight feat, which allowed telepathic characters to passively detect any intelligent creature in range of their telepathy. The detect thoughts spell can be used both for this purpose and for mind-reading. |

In X2: X-Men United, he can mentally track a mutant who frequently teleports to a different place.

This kind of Differently Powered Individual like the other types in the setting is the result of the Transhuman experimentation of the Old World Precursors.

In Super Powereds, telepaths can detect others with the range of their abilities, unless there is something blocking them, such as Dean Blaine, or if a person's brain is functioning on a different "frequency", such as Chad. Even someone like Alex, who is more of an empath (unless you believe him, in which case he's a Jedi). In fact, Alex has managed to use his power to detect training robots, something no other telepath is capable of doing (because robots don't have thoughts). | |

Newtypes in Gundam are able to sense one another, though how effective this is depends on the relative strength of the Newtype in question. Char, a weak Newtype, really only gets sensed when very close by. Scirocco, on the other hand, is sensed by other Newtypes as an overbearing "pressure" while still dozens of kilometers distant. | |

A common ability in the Kadingir series, where people possess all sorts of Psychic Powers. This one comes in two flavours: the empathic radar, which allows them to detect close-range lifeforms in general (animals and people, though specifying on what species or which individuals is increasingly difficult); and the mental radar, which allows them to detect when close-range minds are actively thinking about them, with hostile intentions or otherwise. | |

One Piece: Particularly skilled users of Observation Haki are able to pinpoint the positions and numbers of other people in the vicinity. However, if they are overshadowed by a larger presence (such as being Swallowed Whole by a giant snake), telling the two apart becomes more difficult. | |

Oddly, Futuretrack Five's psycho-radar is not powered by a telepath. It's wholly mechanical, but it still works by detecting the presence of thoughts. Paramils are generally scanning for extremes of rage or despair, and particularly home in on the suicidal. It's demonstrated that it can be played with; a favourite pastime of Est children is thinking 'angry thoughts' when a psycopter flies over and then immediately thinking really bland thoughts, just to annoy the Paramils. | |

Scarlet Nexus: Tsugumi's Clairvoyance power is frequently used in the story for her to be a Sensor Character. In her backstory, Tsugumi overheard many things better off not knowing and telling others about them made people hate her, resulting in her becoming a Shrinking Violet. In one conversation, she brings up that she regularly sees inside people’s organs, pointing out when Yuito has a stomach sickness. Her power is shared with the protagonists via Psychic Link to detect invisible enemies and which enemy is the real one in a Doppelgänger Attack. Her link with Luka also serves as Required Secondary Powers to get the most out of his Psychic Teleportation, as he can’t go somewhere he hasn't seen safely. | |

Warhammer 40,000 has this as a common power of psykers. This is particularly useful for battlefield psykers, where this ability is ideal for detecting enemy troop movements or spotting ambushes that are otherwise perfectly camouflaged to conventional perception. This is used on space craft as well, where "going cold" is no proof against psychic detection. The measured advice of a few psykers can have a drastic effect on the deployment and success of an entire military campaign. This is also used in a broader sense when the Imperium is planning for the long term for a particular region of space, more or less officially called "strategic prognostication". Occasionally, divination tells of a major or ongoing threat that will come to the area, and the Imperium will set up a permanent military presence to watch over the region. Knowing the luck of the Imperium in such matters, it's likely that this has been met with mixed results. |

Doctor Who: Time Lords are capable of sensing each other as said in "Utopia/Last of the Time Lords". Since Time Lords periodically change their appearance, then it would make sense for them to evolve a way to recognize each other. However, it only seems to work when the Time Lord is actively paying attention. | |

Dragon Ball: The main cast has the ability, after a certain point, to sense each other's Power Level and relative location. They can also ascertain the identity of a new power source if it is known to them, and detect similarities in power signatures because one person is related to the other. Cell, for instance, confuses the hell out of them because his power signature is a hodgepodge of multiple other people's, and Buu is described as feeling tremendous in magnitude yet somehow also "empty". The power is originally taught by the Namekian, Kami, to Goku and disseminates through the cast from there, and seems to be nearly unheard of throughout the rest of the universe. This provides a major advantage to the protagonists in the Namek Saga, as Frieza's forces don't realize sensing their power is even a possibility, allowing the cast to evade them with relative ease. | |

Babylon 5: Telepaths, especially powerful ones, can detect people by their surface thoughts. The Psi Corps typically trains their telepaths to block out those thoughts to protect people's privacy (and the telepath's sanity). When Lyta Alexander's powers are upgraded by the Vorlons, she is shown to be able to detect which security camera is currently being used to watch her. Serves as a sort of Poke in the Third Eye, when Sheridan and Garibaldi are watching her from the security office in an interrogation room. She's staring right at the camera. As soon as they switch to another camera in the same room, she turns to look at it, freaking them out. | |

The Viceroy realizes what's happening too late to stop it. This is only possible because Shinzon (with the help of the Viceroy) previously Mind Raped her while she was having sex with Riker. | |
