Detection (...)
For the duration, you can detect the presence of thinking creatures you can't see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can't detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn't speak any language.

Posted Feb 6, 2021I left the WIS Save as an option that someone could realize that something is flitting about the edge of their senses and to start thinking "peanut butter" or something. In any case this spell won't do anything but acknowledge that there is a thinking thing which is thinking. I based this off the idea that the Mind Flayer's likely have an automatic sense like this with their Detect Thoughts at will. They are basically able to sniff out thinking creatures in their environment.
