- The mind meld is an action that is best known from Star Trek. In Star Trek, Vulcans have the ability to link their minds with the mind of another person and through that tap the other mind for memories. This is usually done by the Vulcan placing his or her fingertips on the other person's "meld points" (located on the face for humanoids), and then reaching out mentally. This enables the Vulcan to share the other person's memories and emotions. While the subject of the first mind meld in Star Trek is human, the technique is not limited to humanoids: judging by later episodes, any sentient being can meld with a Vulcan.

| - Typically, physical contact was required for a meld, however particularly powerful melders, such as Spock or Slovaak, are capable of performing melds remotely. (ST video game: Away Team, TOS episode: "A Taste of Armageddon", TOS episode: "By Any Other Name", TOS episode: "The Omega Glory") As Vulcans were touch telepaths, they normally conducted a mind meld by touching the bioelectrical focal points on the face which in the Vulcan language was known as the "qui'lari". (ENT novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing, DS9 episode: "The Muse") Vulcan poets referred to these points as being portals to the mind. (TOS novel: Ex Machina) Melding was a deeply personal experience, as the two minds of the meldees were entirely open to each other. (TOS episode: "Dagger of the Mind", TOS novel: Assignment: Eternity) Every mind meld left a trace signature due to subtle alteration of the synapse and neural pathways. Furthermore, the Vulcans developed a code where one did not initiate mind-melds without the consent of the other party and they never entered the mind of another without permission. (TOS novel: Burning Dreams) However, melding can be used as an interrogation technique in which case the melder can block the meldee's access to their own mind. Those that learnt this discipline on Vulcan were required to take an oath that they would rather die before violating the privacy of another's consciousness against their will. (TOS novel: Mindshadow) Melding can be dangerous, particularly so when conducted with a non-Vulcan but it can also be a useful tool; some neurological conditions can be cured by a mind meld. Further, melds often result in part of each of the participant’s knowledge and mental state being transferred to each other and are also the manner in which someone can deposit or obtain a katra. (TOS movie: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, VOY episode: "Meld") In addition, it meant that memories from generations of Vulcans were capable of being passed down to their descendants and was partly responsible for the retention of ancient Vulcan traditions. (TOS novel: Captain's Glory) By the mid-23rd century, evidence obtained through the use of mind melds were acceptable by the courts of the Federation. (TOS novel: The Patrian Transgression) Surak's teachings on the sanctity of an individual governed much of Vulcan mind meld rules. As such, except in cases of mutual consent, Vulcans never mind melded with rare exceptions for those suffering from mental illness. Even though the Federation under their agreement allowed Vulcans to use mind-melds to read the thoughts of alien races, such a practice was never done. (TOS novel: Crisis on Vulcan)

The Vulcan mind meld first appears in Season One of Star Trek: TOS (Episode 9: "Dagger of the Mind"), where it is used by Spock to determine whether the information he and Doctor McCoy are being given is "real or delusion." According to TOS, Vulcans do not usually meld with non-Vulcans, as melding is a personal part of their private lives. "Dagger of the Mind" marks the first time Spock has melded with a human, although it is far from the last.
