Any ideas what research would enable such a device? What would the prerequisites be?

(not too early)

Dead alien brain from ambassy mission?

For research topics, I would make two versions: A low-power, bulky device that has to be carried in a backpack or something. This one would require Psionics (and all of its required research topics), the brainchip research, and potentially an interrogation of a Sectoid Leader or better. This one could work with any armor, but is not that great.

For the ultimate mind-shield, it requires researching alien electronics, flying power armor, and interrogating a high-tier psychic enemy (Ethereals or the Embassy brain should suffice). That one is naturally way better shield, but more expensive to make, and may only work with power-armor type suits due its intense energy requirements (if you wish to code in that limitation). Alternatively, it could be integrated into the best power armor types (the Flying and the yellow one types), but that would require changing the stats of the existing armors, or creating a new one with minimal differences. I dunno which option is better.

I wouldn't say that there is some need of psi-armor... But improvement of psi-vision for high-trained hybrids would be very nice.
For example, add some special commendation which adds +1 to psi-vision on 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 grade of it.

Thanks for the proposal Traitor, I will consider it.

Psi vision bonus from a commendation is not doable.

^^ this all is solution of Mind Shielding in, -by hi-tech (electronics, /optronics, spintronics) way..


..and then, furthermore, theere would, /should be also solution ..*en naturelle, - let´s make any kind of person, any kind of soldier (let´say, hybrids, or some witchs, or gals, or some high rank, hight tier of the minor, and major fraction - be en-naturelle immune to psi attack, - or let´ them to have naturally ability to shield´ing the mind-wawes..

AI units are wonderful, immune to zombifying, able to flight early, immune to psi . Sent them handling the Zombie Infectors in zombie missions. My hover tank fly over the Vampire castle walls. Just bring rockets on team backpack. Flying drone can't handle the big vampires in the castle but it can spot targets that can be handle by others (crush their heart attack can be handy since it's a psi amp attack). A rogue chrysalid send a team of flying AI units. Flyng drones can also handle the top level of ships if there's a top enter or a hole in the roof.
