It is very interesting that many animals have some of those senses in the real world. It's not like Detect that is far being biology (althouth I must add that many fish have Detect Electricity to such a high degree that it can sense a heart beating of another animal over several miles, and they also have some impressive 3D senses). All that makes those lab made "people" full of possibilities, since those traits can be justified for bioengeneered humans, so, even in a setting where mind reading is just fantasy, those traits are nevertheless suitable for many sci fi genres.
