The psycho-probe is a mind-reading device of villainous design, common to several of the different Transformers universes. It is not a pleasant experience, no sir.

Pre-MUX history
The Girl Who Loved Powerglide
The psycho-probe was employed by the Decepticons on the captive human, Astoria Carlton-Ritz, in an attempt to acquire the secret energy formula of Hybrid Technologies Corporation. Thankfully for Astoria, her tendency to foul up machinery just by being around it saved her a ninety-thousand volt jolt when the machine read her mind as completely blank.
Once Soundwave had corrected that problem, the probe’s electrodes refused to stick to Astoria’s head, causing Soundwave and Rumble to be electrocuted instead when they tried holding them on. Presumably Soundwave didn’t just use his own innate mind-reading powers to avoid Carlton-Ritz's techno-jinx.
Regardless, the machine was destroyed by Megatron after the electrocution incident.
