In 1953, Dr. John Lilly's goal was to find regions of the brain that controlled different bodily functions. From the use of electro-stimulation, he discovered the part of monkeys' brains which controls pain, fear, anxiety, and anger and he was able to locate the part of the brain that controls erections, ejaculations, and orgasms in male monkeys. The CIA approached Dr. Lilly who cooperated for a short period of time before dissolving the partnership because of the likelihood that his work would be used to develop electronics to remotely control human beings through the use of strategically implanted electrodes in the brain.
Large sums were invested in military applications of psychotronics, biocybernetics and behavioral neuropsychiatry with the aim of cybernetic control of populations.
In one case the subject placed under hypnosis was mentally programmed to maintain the determination to eventually perform one specific act. Thereafter, each time a particular muscle twitched in a certain manner, he increased his determination. As the hypnotic spell was renewed again and again, reinforced by radio stimulation, he made it his life's purpose to carry out his mission.
In 1969 the director of Neuropsychiatry at Yale University, Dr. Jose M.R. Delgado, published "Physical Control of the Mind - Towards a Psychocivilized Society" (Harper and Row) where he explains the underlying agenda of his work with stimoceiver brain implants and asserts that man does not have the right to have his "own" mind. Addressing the United States Congress in February 1974 he predicted that in the not so distant future armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain and demanded to establish "A program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated."
