The sentence that prompted this submission is:
ただある種の女の子が私に感応し、その感応が私に伝わるだけなのよ。[Haruki Murakami]
"Certain kinds of girls, though, do respond to me, and I can feel it when that happens." [Jay Rubin's translation]
----------------

(1) I think "responsiveness" and "responding" can be added for cases like the Murakami sentence. Here are some other examples:
a) 大人は今の子供たちが感応する音楽が理解できない. Adults cannot understand the music children respond to nowadays. [GG5]
b) 感応度 (a degree of) sensitivity; responsiveness; responsivity; a response level. [KOD追加語彙]
c) 感応する 〈…にこたえる〉 respond 《to》; ... [新和英中辞典]

(2) inspiration 
I don't think it's "inspiration" in the everyday sense of the word (as in "Helen had one of her flashes of inspiration" or "he is an inspiration to everyone").
GG5's definition says "〔霊感〕 inspiration", so I'd change "inspiration" to "divine inspiration".

(3) "divine response"
〈神仏が〉 hear 《our prayer》. [新和英中辞典]

(4) Electromagnetism
a) 〈電気の〉 induction [新和英中辞典]
b) 感応の inductive. [GG5]
c) 感応コイル 【電】 an induction coil. [GG5]
