"You might not yet believe this but you are a quite accomplished telepath," the Professor replies.
"You are more advanced than I was when I first began to learn," Jean adds.
The professor smiles and continues, "Cerebro is a second generation mutant detecting device. The original device was called Cyberno and it wasn't nearly as efficient. Cerebro detects mutants by focusing on the distinctive psionic wavelengths that a mutant's brain generally possesses. This device will only detect mutants once their powers have manifested themselves, usually during adolescence, but it can pinpoint the precise location of the mutant once the detection power is activated. Cerebro can be set to scan and detect automatically, but its range and effectiveness are then limited. In my case, I can extend my own mutant-sensing power to worldwide scope but even I sometimes have difficulty and Cerebro can over tax my abilities, causing me to 'short' out my telepathy for a few days."
