Jose Delgado's "Physical Control of the Mind"


About the Author

Jose M. R. Delgado was born in Ronda, Spain, and received his medical training at Madrid University, where he was Associate Professor of Physiology until 1950 when he came to Yale University to work with Dr. John Fulton. He is now Professor of Physiology at Yale, where he has developed techniques for electrical and chemical stimulation of the brain and has applied them to the study of primate and human behavior. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and is a well-known authority in neurobehavioral research.

DELGADO, holding two of his brain implants in a photograph taken in August 2005, once wrote that humanity should shift its mission from the ancient dictum �Know thyself� to �Construct thyself.�
