Mind probe
From The Stargate Omnipedia
Device of Oannes design, capable of depositing memories to, and extracting memories from, the mind of a humanoid. A forced extraction deep into the hypothalamus is potentially lethal.
An individual is reclined in the chair while their head is strapped down against a head rest. A beam is emitted from the upper portion of the device and can be controlled in intensity from a nearby panel.
