- Extrasensory perception (超感覚的知覚 Chōkankakutekichikaku?) (ESP) in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe is one of two criterias that esper powers are grouped into, the other being PK or Psychokinesis.
- The user can acquire information by means independent of any known senses or previous experience. This applies to any and all kinds of information, knowledge, wisdom, experience, etc. Information can be either personal (memories, thoughts, etc.) or impersonal (academic knowledge, data, etc.). This ability can be used passively (as an instinctual reaction) or actively (by wanting to know specific information).
- Extrasensory perception refers to most psychic abilities in general, which are any abilities which are beyond the normal five senses (vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch).
- Extrasensory perception (commonly abbreviated ESP) is a term generally used in relation to abilities displayed by humans that are beyond the five basic senses. There is a relationship between ESP and telepathy, but the two are not synonymous. From at least the 23rd century Starfleet has been testing its human personal with standardized tests to measure their perception quotient or "esper rating". (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before") The El-Aurian ability sense for changes in the spacetime continuum can be considered a form of ESP. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise", Star Trek Generations)
- Extrasensory perception (commonly abbreviated ESP) was a term used by 23rd century psychiatrists to describe the ability of Humans to perform activities that require use of sensing capabilities beyond the five basic senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. At that time Starfleet also had standardized tests to measure the aperception quotient (or "esper rating") of Humans to determine the degree of extrasensory perception present in an individual. Starfleet service records of the era included aperception quotient ratings.
- Extrasensory perception (more commonly abbreviated as ESP) is a term which is applied to the human ability to perform activities that utilize more advanced sensing abilities than are provided by the basic five senses. For centuries, many scientists believed that humans' ESP abilities were always going to be limited by the brain, however it had been proven that basic ESP abilities could allow someone to predict future events, start fires spontaneously and see through objects.
- Extrasensory perception (ESP) involves the relay of information not gained through the physical senses but instead sensed with the mind. ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense, gut instinct or hunch but is also sometimes referred to most commonly as intuition. The term implies acquisition of information by means external. Abilities such as clairvoyance use senses in a entirely different way. This is in aspects a extension of them to work in a way more potent way then usual. ESP can also be known to cover nearly a wide variety of abilites

| - Extrasensory perception (more commonly abbreviated as ESP) is a term which is applied to the human ability to perform activities that utilize more advanced sensing abilities than are provided by the basic five senses. For centuries, many scientists believed that humans' ESP abilities were always going to be limited by the brain, however it had been proven that basic ESP abilities could allow someone to predict future events, start fires spontaneously and see through objects. By the 23rd century, Starfleet recorded an officer's ESP ability as part of their routine medical and psychological evaluations. This was called the esper rating. (TOS episode & Star Trek 8 novelization: Where No Man Has Gone Before; TOS comic: "Star TreX"; TNG novel: The Valiant; TOS comics: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 1", "Issue 2")
- Extrasensory perception (commonly abbreviated ESP) is a term generally used in relation to abilities displayed by humans that are beyond the five basic senses. There is a relationship between ESP and telepathy, but the two are not synonymous. From at least the 23rd century Starfleet has been testing its human personal with standardized tests to measure their perception quotient or "esper rating". (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before") In the 24th century, extrasensory perception was one ability for which children at Enclave J-12 were tested. Those showing high esper ratings were then trained to augment their abilities. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "Father to the Man") The El-Aurian ability sense for changes in the spacetime continuum can be considered a form of ESP. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise", Star Trek Generations)
- Extrasensory perception (commonly abbreviated ESP) was a term used by 23rd century psychiatrists to describe the ability of Humans to perform activities that require use of sensing capabilities beyond the five basic senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. In 2265 Starfleet believed that the ESP capacity in Humans was always quite limited, although it had been proven that some Humans could sometimes sense future happenings, read the backs of playing cards, see through solid objects, and cause fires to start spontaneously. There was controversy about the limits of such abilities as, despite such apparent evidence, Starfleet psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Dehner claimed that espers (those who exhibit ESP abilities) are "simply people with flashes of insight." At that time Starfleet also had standardized tests to measure the aperception quotient (or "esper rating") of Humans to determine the degree of extrasensory perception present in an individual. Starfleet service records of the era included aperception quotient ratings. Known Human contact with the galactic barrier (by the SS Valiant in 2065 and by the USS Enterprise in 2265) has resulted in significant augmentation in ESP abilities in those who already had a very high aperception quotient. Those whose esper rating was high but not extraordinarily so were injured by the contact, but not augmented. Later contacts with the Barrier in 2268 by the USS Enterprise did not result in any identified injury or augmentation. ESP, as a term, has only been used in reference to Humans. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" )

- Extrasensory perception (ESP) involves the relay of information not gained through the physical senses but instead sensed with the mind. ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense, gut instinct or hunch but is also sometimes referred to most commonly as intuition. The term implies acquisition of information by means external. ESP contains several abilities. For example Empathy, Telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, precognition, postcognition etc. The main difference between them is the way of gaining data. For example, an Empathy ability might read the background feelings of a person, and determine the emotions of nearby people; compared to telepathy which covers thoughts and the mind functions. Other types might get the information straight out of the subject's mind. One of the rarest cases presume ESP abilities as the knowledge given by a certain entity. Abilities such as clairvoyance use senses in a entirely different way. This is in aspects a extension of them to work in a way more potent way then usual.
