Cerebro first appeared in ''X-Men'' #7 (September 1964). Professor [[Jeffrey J. Kripal]], in his 2011 book ''Mutants and Mystics: Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal'', calls Cerebro "a piece of psychotronics" and describes it as "a spiderlike, [[Jack Kirby|Kirby]]-esque system of machines and wires that transmitted extrasensory data into Professor Xavier's private desk in another room".<ref name="Kripal">[[Jeffrey J. Kripal]], ''Mutants and Mystics: Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal'' (2011), p. 208.</ref> Kripal notes that Cerebro made multiple subsequent central appearances, including ''[[Giant-Size X-Men]]'' #1 (1975), where Cerebro senses and locates a supermutant across the globe, resulting in the recreation of the X-Men team.<ref name="Kripal"/>
