Default \"reading minds\" in poker

this is a hand that I played that leads me to believe in being able to "read" someones mind.
It was about an hour and a half into the session and I had about 160 in front of me. There were a lot of PF limpers, and I look down and KK,so I raised to 17 dollars (in a 1-2 nl game at the casino) and ended up being called only by the SB and BB. Flop comes 6h 7h 2c. I looked at the two players to my left and the SB checked as did the BB. It was crazy when I looked at the flop and then looked back at the two players I put them on exactly what they had. I thought that the SB was probably on a weak flush draw and I felt like the big blind hit a set or maybe top two, but I was leaning towards the set. I did not want to follow up and bet into the players when I had that felling, cause if I get put all in I'd muck my hand. So I followed suit and checked. I was looking for a one outer. And it came, the Ks landed on fourth street. Was a nice catch for me. SB checked again and BB lead out with a big bet.I think it was something like fifty dollars. I raised all in right there because I wanted to shut out the flush draw and I knew that the BB would call. To my surprise, the SB went all in as did the BB I had them both covered by a whopping four dollars. The small blind flipped over Jh2h, and BB flipped over his set of sixes. I was amazed that I called there hands exactly without any real information on them. And all I had to avoid was some hearts and I would have trippled up. And then the dealer delivered the river card. Damn, a heart. Probably the sickest hand of my life.
I've done things like that before when plaing card put someone on exactly what they have. I was playing omaha with my friend and whenever I would get that feeling of what he had I would call it out, and I'm always really close if not exactly. I'd call out "queens and sevens, and also a poket pair of kings?" amd then hed flip it over. I think this is something that happens t a lot of poker players. Like doyle said in super system, that's it hard to believe that the human brain being as complex as it is, isn't able to pick up tiny electric signals. I mean, when we turn the blender on the TV gets out of wack, why can't a game of such intense concentration send little brain waves out a few feet across the table? I've seen doyle do it, I've seen chip reese make plays that almost seem as he knew exactly what his opponent had, phil iveys done it in hands, so who's to say its impossibile?

what's your thoughts on it.
