> The personal papers of the neurophysiologist John C. Lilly at Stanford University hold a classified paper he wrote in the late 1950s on the behavioural modification and control of ‘human agents’ ... Lilly accepted a position as head of the Section of Cortical Integration at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland. His appointment was based on an ambitious ‘Proposal for a Research Program on the Relations Between the Activities of the Brain, Body and Mind’. Combining communications theory, neurophysiology, and psychoanalysis, his aim was to use new brain-mapping techniques to physically locate and manipulate behavioural correlates in the brains of monkeys, cats, humans, and later dolphins.
