I view it as a Unusual Background that lets you buy certain other abilities and includes minor features.
The feature that telepathy and similar mental powers do not work on you could be bought as Immunity to Mind Control [30] with limitations and a disadvantage that software based Mind Control works on you.
That would have been a more generic way to build it and could have left room for Brunos "Mind" Traits. However the limitation or base cost would vary based on the frequency of occurrence of mental powers in the campaign/setting. In some settings it may not be needed at all so worth -80% [6]
Kind of a lot of word count for Basic to go into.
