Part 4/8:
Amidst the quest to understand life, other scientists turned their gaze towards the human mind. In the 1960s, neuroscientist Jose Delgado aimed to prove that the human brain could be controlled remotely through a device he called the "stoer." He conducted a notorious experiment in which he stepped into a bullring with a charging bull. Just as the bull was about to charge, Delgado pressed a button on his remote, stopping the bull in its tracks as if his brain had been switched off. Delgado believed his research could revolutionize medicine, yet it also raised unsettling questions about mind control and the ethical boundaries of human manipulation.
