Many scientists have pondered on how to control peoples brains and to be fair, some peoples brains do need someone to take over and stop them doing weird shit but i did more than ponder on it, i actually went and did it.
I was initially an eye specialist but changed his focus to the brain and the electrical impulses which drive a human to do things and experimented with the effects of electricity stimulating regions of the brain.
I successfully developed technologies that manipulated the mind electrically using a brain chip which stimulated the neural tissues and allowed me to control them with a remote control and i started out small on mice, cats and then monkeys and went on to use it on a bull before experimenting on humans.
Stood in a bullring with only a small metal box to protect me, i taunted the bull who had one of my chips implanted into it's brain and it charged at me and when it was half the distance i pressed a button on the box which sent an electric impulse to the bulls brain which inhibited its aggression and the bull halted it's charge mid-stride and turned away.
Another experiment was with a chimpanzee called Paddy who was very disruptive by after fitting it with a receiver linked to a computer that detected the brain signals, it not only made it quieter and calmer but proved my invention could stop panic attacks, seizures, and other disorders controlled by certain signals within the brain.
I discovered that i could invoke rage, anxiety, pleasure, drowsiness and involuntary movements in the animal and human subjects which some critics complained was paving the way for mind control so when i wrote up my experiments in a book i called 'Happiness' which showed how we could manage our inner being and make us less cruel and more benevolent, happier, better people, it was trashed by critics.
I advocated for the implantation of electrodes in people to control their behaviour and even worked with some mental patients to cure their depression and subdue their schizophrenia and epilepsy but that caused even more protests and the newspaper began running articles about the creation of a Manchurian candidate who could potentially, under the control of another, assassinate whoever they chose. 
My idea was taken on to produce the cardiac pacemaker but rather than being used to control the heart, it could have been so much more and looking around at some of the people making Global decisions today, well they said tinkering with peoples brains is unethical but then just allowing some seriously mentally sick people run nations isn’t a recognised treatment either.
