Spanish physiology professor Jose Manuel Rodriguez Delgado (1915–2011) was an expert on electrical stimulation of the brain. In 1963 he implanted a device he had created called a stimoceiver into the brains of several bulls at a breeding ranch in Cordoba, Spain. Confronting each of his subject bulls in a bullring, Delgado was able to use a handheld transmitter to halt a charging bull by using the stimoceiver to stimulate the animal’s caudate nucleus.
