Stats

Mind Shield

Required Research: Ethereal Autopsy
Base Costs: §150, 10 Alloys, 30 Elerium, 1 Ethereal Corpse, 35 Engineers
Will Bonus: +30 Will
Abilities: Gives additional 30% protection from psi attacks. Gives additional 30% chance to psi attacks.

Source: XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012)

Notes

Having an assault with a Mind Shield equipped can allow them to approach an Ethereal and Rapid Fire them. Should they miss, (which is unlikely) there is now a negligible chance that they will be mind controlled and used against you.
While described as a Mind "Shield" the Will bonus is generic and is equally useful for boosting a soldier's own psi abilities as for defence against enemy psi abilities.
