Observing the last Railgun chapter it's pretty much clear that Mental Out uses some sort of medium to reach it's target (I guess is something related to electricity/electromgnetism/electrons, judging by Misaki using electronic device to better vcontrol it and Mikoto being able to defend against it), like for Telepathy. Telepathy utilize the vibration of the air to create a frequency, creating something like an acoustic tube, so if IB accidentally touch that, the tube is negated (that's what seemingly happened in vol 6). From the last chapter, seems that even Mental Out uses a similiar method of Telepathy to affect the target, that's why Misaki changed the angle of her remote control, in a such way that the "wire or whatever it is" doens't come in contact with IB.
