Until the End of the World
Device for recording and translating brain impulses to restore vision of the blind person. Also used for recording the dreams. telexperience technology that is adapted to record dreams so that they can be shared with others or watched on a video display. In the world of the film, the technology is new and experimental, and is handled in the inventor’s laboratory with complicated electronic equipment. After having first recorded an event with a special binocular, brainwave-reading camera, the subject must rewatch the recording and remember the event. During this rewatching, the subject’s brainwaves are being recorded for later transmission. The subject has electrodes taped to his or her temples and lies back in a curved headrest with an electronic grid lining it. We know it’s working because of the various screens that display the moving images gathered by the procedure. We know it’s done when the subject’s REM state ends, which is seen on screens that monitor the health and brain activity
of the subject.

Mind control is mentioned in the "Pilot", but not explored further until The Equation where a device that uses a series of flashing green and red lights appears to induce a hypnogogic state that psychologically freezes a man while his son is being abducted. Later Walter perfects his own version of the device and causes Peter to cut off his own shirt sleeves. In each case the victim does not remember any of the period where they were under mind control.
A more intrusive version of this phenomena was explored in "Dream Logic", where Dr. Laxmeesh Nayak has created an brain implanted chip with the pretext of helping sleep disorder sufferers. Although Dr. Nayaks motivations aren't completely clear, he apparently is using his device to both experience their dreams and induce hallucinations in his victims at the same time. While not directly mind control, the induced hallucinations can trigger behaviors beyond the conscious control of the victim.
A direct ability of controlling a physical body is demonstrated by Tyler Carson in "Of Human Action" where he appears to have the power to override voluntary muscle behavior of other people within a certain range. Walter somehow determined a method of counteracting this ability using "white noise".

The Mind Stone allows the user to enhance their mental and psionic abilities and access the thoughts and dreams of other beings. When backed by the Power Gem, the Mind Gem can access all minds in existence simultaneously. The Mind Gem is also the manifestation of the universal subconscious. At its core, the Stone contains a highly advanced intelligence framework, akin to an incredibly powerful supercomputer operating similarly to a sentient mind. The Stone's intelligence is powerful enough to enhance and spontaneously grant sentience to the artificial beings Ultron and Vision. As implied by this intelligence, the Stone itself also possesses a form of sentience, with the Stone directly communicating with Vision in order to warn him of the coming threat of Thanos.

Dreamscape
A technique that allows psychics to voluntarily link with the minds of others by projecting themselves into the subconscious during REM sleep. The researchers equate the original idea for the dreamscape project to the practice of the Senoi natives of Malaysia, who believe the dream world is just as real as reality.
The project was intended for clinical use to diagnose and treat sleep disorders, particularly nightmares, but it has been hijacked, with intentions to use the dream-linking technique for assassination.
