Mind Control... sort of

A recent article at SFGate.com discusses a form of mind control which utilizes electrical impulses sent to the brain near the ear. Apparently using a "joystick" scientists can cause a subject to feel off-balance and dizzy until that person moves in the desired direction. The author of the AP article states that the sensation is quite unpleasant until you move in the direction you are supposed to. Conspiracy theorists may now don their tinfoil hats.
