* [[C. S. ~~Lewis|CS~~ Lewis]] in ''A Grief Observed'' said that once or twice during his bereavement he felt as if Joy was trying to comfort him from beyond the grave. That is of course the sort of thing a grieving person might do, but it is also about as close to a [[Real Life]] example as you might find.

* On the other hand, cybernetics researcher Kevin Warwick (of putting a chip into his arm that ''[[Technopath|remote-controls]] [[Badass|electric circuits]]'' fame) conducted an experiment in which he and his wife got wireless transceivers patched into their neural systems.

* Iriana and Mille have this in ''[[Ilivais X]]''. {{spoiler|It's due to both of them having similar Drive Cores, which contain an empathic maintenance and observation function, but in their case it's VERY strong.}} However, it only works in full when either one is in the Ilivais or they're both in close proximity, though it is shown they can detect a general emotional state from afar. They also have an internal compass that lets them find one another, though that's from a makeshift blood transfusion that uses {{spoiler|both Mille and}} Iriana's regenerative abilities to have those blood cells be drawn to the other.
