Delgado describes his brain-stimulation research and discusses its implications by way of physical control of the mind, for the benefit of a more "psychocivilized society." Delgado's famous study of implanting chips into bull brains is illustrated as he stands in font of a charging pull feverishly pushing the button of his mind-control invention which successfully stopped the charging bull in its tracks just feet away from goring him. A book not for the squeamish as it is illustrated with photographs of monkeys, cats, and young women with "stimoceivers" affixed to their skulls; studies that have since been coined as "horrifying." This is the first edition, first printing of the controversial, and highly collectible landmark title. Fine/VG. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003077
