King of the Rats
May 2nd, 2002
Scientists have found a way to control rats via remote control. By implanting electrodes in rats’ brains they can be commanded to turn left or right, and do other things like climbing trees.
Five rats were fitted with electrodes and power-pack backpacks. When signaled by a laptop computer, the electrodes stimulated the rodents’ brains and cued them to scurry in the desired direction, then rewarded them by stimulating a pleasure center in the brain.
Little did scientist know this type of behavior manipulation has already been perfected. Corporate America has been doing this with employees for years, minus the pleasure stimulation.
