Yale University professor Jose Delgado proved it is possible to control people much like remote control cars using electrical jolts to the brain.

now I convince you Delgado is fascinated
0:08
by Swiss research on electrodes
0:10
implanted in the brains of living
0:13
cats when they stimulated the brain with
0:15
electricity the cat's paw moved like so
0:19
it is showing we can change the
0:20
electrical workings in a living brain
0:23
and I think no I
0:25
believe we can fix people so it's true
0:29
you you want to stick wires in a human
0:31
brain I offer a choice labotomy chop up
0:35
the brains with a knife or a few wires
0:38
in the brain no permanent damage you
0:42
control how strong is the effect turn it
0:45
off the effect is
0:47
gone which would you
0:49
choose Delgato suspected that mental
0:52
problems like schizophrenia and epilepsy
0:55
might be caused by aberant electrical
0:57
activity in the brain not a physical IAL
1:00
defect and so what he wanted to do was
1:02
jolt these disruptions and hopefully
1:05
reboot the normal organized activity in
1:09
the brain rather than cut it up with a
1:13
knife it takes Delgado several years
1:16
before he is ready to try his ideas on a
1:23
human Okay Delgato was aware that
1:26
different parts of the brain were
1:27
involved in different things so for
1:28
instance there was a part of the brain
1:29
that it's involved in controlling the
1:30
muscles and the more frontal parts of
1:33
the brain are involved in thinking and
1:35
planning skills what Delgato didn't know
1:38
was what would happen if you were able
1:39
to stimulate these parts of the brain
1:41
with
1:42
[Music]
1:50
electricity keep your hand like
1:53
this nice okay now don't move a muscle
2:02
well please set keep it
2:04
open well I guess uh I guess your
2:08
electricity is is stronger than my
2:12
will okay if you want to move your arm
2:16
an electrical impulse travels from motor
2:18
cortex eventually to the arm what
2:20
Delgado was doing is substituting that
2:23
natural electrical impulse with a
2:25
man-made one and when he did his
2:27
subjects had no choice but to
2:33
move Delgado begins working with
2:36
mentally ill patients violent
2:39
schizophrenics normally candidates for
2:41
labotomy
2:43
ah she stabbed several people it's
2:46
mostly
2:48
strangers and the
2:50
nurse so you need to be careful what doc
2:54
if she does freak out I mean she'll rip
2:56
the wires out ruin the equipment maybe
2:59
even hurt someone one don't worry the
3:01
equipment will be perfectly
3:06
safe to address this problem of wires
3:09
needing to come in and out of the skull
3:12
he invented the soser which is a radio
3:15
receiver attached to electrodes in the
3:17
brain which he operated with a radio
3:19
transmitter and a remote control much
3:22
the same way as one might operate a
3:24
model
3:25
aircraft okay so you were going to play
3:29
for us
3:31
[Music]
3:46
turn it off now turn it
3:50
off Delgado can induce abnormal behavior
3:53
in a mental patient by radio control
4:02
and he can manufacture emotions even
4:04
more personal than
4:10
[Music]
4:12
anger God you're handsome
4:15
[Music]
4:16
I I don't think I've ever seen anyone so
4:19
handsome in my
4:21
life the woman wasn't naturally
4:23
attracted she had had an electrode that
4:25
was planted into her amydala which is
4:28
this structure here and it's an
4:30
important part of our emotional response
4:32
system so by electrically stimulating
4:34
the region they were able to induce a
4:36
sexual response in this woman
4:40
externally Elgato also produces fear
4:44
calmness even
4:47
Euphoria all at the touch of a
4:50
button though he set out to
4:53
cure delgado's research has produced an
4:56
unintended side effect
5:02
remote mind control
