Additional Notes:
KGT p. 55: The {tuQDoq}, variously translated as "mind-sifter" or "mind-ripper," is a device that can read the contents of a subject's brain. It is considered a weapon because, at higher powers, it leaves the victim in a permanent vegetative state (though it does not seem to have this effect against those with particularly strong mental faculties, such as Vulcans).
