Well - IIRC - thermographic is just the wavelength of light that emanates 
from warm sources, and is normally below the human visable spectrum.  (It 
takes relatively hot things to emanate in visible frequences, like 
fire.  Red is a relatively "cool" flame and blue is flaming HOT)

But you have two ways around this.
One)  The device itself does not extend it's warping effect into the 
non-visible spectrums.
Two) The device certain doesn't extend into the metaphysical 
spectrums.  And the heads can see the souls of the characters approaching.
But don't tell the posse why the heads all turn to them and start screaming 
their, er, fool heads off.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

I'm sure it felt suffocated by all the [BEEP] regulations of [BEEP] 
Starfleet and just couldn't stand it any longer!
