José M. R. Delgado, M.D. Physical Control of the Mind eo World Perspectives Edited by Ruth Nanda AnshenWorld Perspectives, planned and edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen, is a program to bring to the public seminal books in a variety of fields by the most distinguished of contemporary thinkers and world leaders. The purpose is to reveal basic new trends in modern civiliza- tions, to interpret the creative forces at work today, in the East as well as in the West, and to point to the new consciousness which con contribute to a deeper understanding of the interrelation of man and the universe, the individual and society, and of the values shored by all people. World Perspectives represents and presents the world community of ideas. This Series emphasizes the principle of unity in mankind and of permanence change. ‘Among the present and future contributors are: Konrad Adenaver lawrence S.

DELGADO, M.D. Physical control of the mind by direct ma- nipulation of the brain is a novel event in man’s history, In this forty-first volume in World Perspectives Dr. José M. R. Delgado describes his pioneer work in implanting electrodes in the brains of cats, monkeys, and men. He shows how, by electrical stimu- lation of specific cerebral structures, move- ments can be induced by radio command, hostility may appear or disappear, social hierarchy can be modified, sexual behavior may be changed, and memory, emotions, and the thinking process may be influenced by remote control. Direct nonsensory com- munication between brains and computers has already been accomplished; and with the aid of miniaturized subcutaneous instru- ments, messages have been sent to neuronal structures through the intact skin. These discoveries have medical, psychological, so- ciological, and philosophical implications. ‘The knowledge of brain physiology thus gained can give man more command over himself and his civilization—a development to be welcomed, since awareness is our best defense against manipulation. The mind is no longer unreachable, and may be the subject of experimental investi- (continued on back flap)
