I think while some people might be born with such abilities, it is possible to scientifically and systematically study these kind of stuff. Of course, u just have to be very observant. And u need to have a lot of life experience, particularly experiences dealing with people in various cultulres, and various circumstances. Without experiences, you do not have the opportunities to observe people and their body languages. So yeah, I think mind reading can definetly be studied as a science in a systematic way. But how many of us are willing to "take on a lot of life experience" just for this purpose?
