Neural refers to a neural response, usually brain activation measured by fmri, to determine what a person is perceiving or thinking.

- Mind reading.

Explanation:

As per the question, neural 'mind reading' would be demonstrated as the nervous response that usually involves brain activation which is measured by functional MRI that assists in determining a person's perceptions or thought process. It assists to analyze the neural response for an action and detect the changes in the blood flow(increase or decrease) and the activation of neurons associated to it that eventually leads to assess the thinking of an individual. Thus, 'mind-reading' is the answer.
