Psychogenic manipulation was a process used to trap prey.
A large bioplasmic organism encountered by USS Voyager in 2375 used neurogenic telepathy to engage in psychogenic manipulation to lure in its prey. It would sense their thoughts and in particular their desires, and use them to manipulate.
The organism convinced most of the crew of the USS Voyager that it was in fact a wormhole leading home. (VOY: "Bliss")
