having arteries that transport blood/blood analogous material run along the spine as opposed to them running along the neck, having these arteries be extremely rigid or armored, etc. While immunity to the mind meld would imply either a resistance/immunity to telepathic abilities or strong enough telepathic abilities to block/disrupt it immunity to the nerve pinch could require resistance/immunity to telepathic abilities, or it may require having a physiology that can either compensate for an extremely quick change in pressure within the brain, or a way of regulating that pressure that is quite different than our own, i.e. That being said, since we don't know exactly how the Vulcan Nerve Pinch works, we can't exactly determine who/what would be immune. Perhaps using a large amount of force and applying it quickly and precisely, Vulcans (among others) can disrupt blood flow enough and create a drastic pressure difference in the brain that can instantly knock the victim out. In Chez Sandríne, Tom Paris offers to make a pool game with Harry Kim 'interesting' by betting one weeks worth of replicator rations on the outcome of the game, but Ricky warns Kim that Paris is hustling him. The problem with that comparison is that a choke hold takes several seconds to render someone unconscious, while the nerve pinch is almost instant. Tuvok is plagued by the senselessness of a murder aboard Voyager. That would lead me to believe that the neck pinch is used to disrupt blood flow to the brain much like a choke hold would. But a short time later, the two are found unconscious in a turbolift. In the Voyager episode Cathexis (Season 1, Epidode 13), after Kes has been attacked by Tuvok's Vulcan neck pinch the Doctor claims that Kes has had nerves in her trapezius bundle ruptured. Robbie Robinson form a mind-meld with her to help focus her telepathic abilities. Hypnosis-like relaxation and a rhythmic verbal device, such as 'My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts,' are often useful. Kirk forcibly beams Doctor McCoy onto the ship against his will, as if the incident never happened. While it may traditionally be at least partially psychic in nature, several non-telepathic people/races have been shown to successfully use the Vulcan nerve pinch (Picard, Odo, Seven of Nine off the top of my head). A touch technique that allows a Vulcan to merge his or her mind with the essence of another's mind purely by using specialized contact via fingertip-points - on a humanoid, usually around the targeted partner's skull temples. Star Trek: The Motion Picture has many odd moments, but these 10 were the most confusing for fans. Apparently, the Cardassian military has training for resisting a Vulcan mind-meld (or at least Dukat has learned it)Ĩ) I'm not sure about Tuvok's mind-meld with the alien in VOY "Random Thoughts" - it was consensual for sure, but he obviously showed the intention to force thoughts a lot more violent on the guy than he expected.Well, Memory Alpha says that non-Vulcans have used the neck pinch with varying degrees of effectiveness. But, in the context of Star Trek canon as a whole, check int out: V’Ger, a giant living machine that was 100 percent an A.I. (She contracted the Panar syndrome as a result.)Ħ) In ENT "In A Mirror, Darkly", Mirror T'Pol, having lured Mirror Trip with the promise of sex, forces a meld on him and implants a telepathic suggestion to perform sabotage, then uses the same technique to erase his memoryħ) in DS9 "The Maquis", Sakonna, the Vulcan Maquis, unsuccessfully tries to force a meld on Dukat as a part of interrogation.
I love Star Trek VI for its themes and storyline/subplots (always have.). Furthermore, Vulcan society has 'more intolerance today than there was 1,000 years ago' (a statement. At this time in the Star Trek universe, only a small portion of Vulcans are believed to have the ability to initiate mind melds. The Vulcan mind-meld originates in the TOS episode Dagger of the Mind, in which Spock probes the tortured mind of a prison inmate in order to get to the bottom of a confounding mystery. Click to expand.5) in ENT "Fusion", Tolaris, the V'tosh ka'tur Vulcan, starts a consensual meld with T'Pol, but then proceeds even after she asks him to stop - she eventually pulls herself away. Compare it with Shinzon getting inside Trois mind in Nemesis, which clearly was. Pa'nar Syndrome is a fictional neurological ailment, fatal to Vulcans, and transferred between them via a mind meld.
