Telepathy is a common theme in modern fiction and science fiction, with many superheroes and supervillains having telepathic abilities. In more recent times, neuroimaging has allowed researchers to actually perform early forms of mind reading.

Hi Mona and welcome.
To call neuro imaging 'mind reading' is not entirely accurate in the sense that scientists are not claiming to gather actual thoughts that are subsequently verbalised.
However, scientists are now refining a process where visual images can be captured from the brain:
