Discuss Psychic Powers within TMNT (Splinter and Leo, especially)

I was hoping to open a discussion on the psychic abilities we've seen Splinter use (especially on multiple or consistant occasions), or (even better) seen Leo be trained in the use of.

Leo definitely seems to be the most likely to learn ancient arts and whatnot... so has anybody else given this serious thought? What do they seem capable of, and what is not possible for them? We know limited communication is possible... And I remember in the 2003 cartoon when Leo came back from the ancient one in season 4 and thought his family was dead, he was able to sense what had happened to his brothers by picking up clues at the scene of their disappearance and concentrate on them... it was very cool actually, how he got flashes of what happened.

So, are there any other examples out there or comics/episodes I could study? My motive for this is partly because I'm writing a fanfic and I want to beef up my knowledge of these supernatural ninja capabilities before I attempt to employ them for my story's purposes.

But also, I just find it pretty fascinating!
