Psi-screen
From StarCraft Wiki
Psi-screens are devices which prevent telepaths from reading their minds and also cancels out a telepath's mind-reading abilities if worn by a telepath. They are frequently used by ghosts and their instructors during training, enabling ghost trainees to concentrate (as they won't be reading minds at the time).[1]
Psi-screens, which are so rare that it was harder to acquire than a nuke from the former Confederate Army, come in various versions, including touch-activated ones (which are lower-quality) while newer ones can be activated without touch. Some psi-screens can produce an effect which inflicts pain on telepaths; the Confederacy used such psi-screens to keep telepaths in line. Higher-ranking people get to wear more powerful devices.[1]
The device is harmful, however, if worn for more than seven hours, causing memory loss,[1] brain damage and paranoia.[2] The device has a greater effect on the brains of psychics than on non-psychics.[3] Some wearers undergo brain scans to check for damage.[1]
Psi-screens are considered extremely expensive.[4][5]
