It is not necessary to use complex technology and implant electrodes into the brain of a bee or other creature, there are other electronic ways to control the movement of living organisms using computers.

... Although there are other ways to deliver signals to neurons, each has its limitations. In deep-brain stimulation, for example, scientists thread a wire through the brain to place an electrode next to the target cells. But the implant can damage nearby cells and tissues in ways that interfere with normal behavior. Optogenetics, which works similarly but uses fiber optics and a pulse of light rather than electricity, has the same issue. A third strategy—using drugs to activate genetically modified cells bred into mice—is less invasive, but drugs are slow to take effect and wear off.

The solution that Friedman’s group hit upon, referred to as radiogenetics or magnetogenetics, avoids these problems. With their method, published last year in Nature, biologists can turn neurons on or off in a live animal at will—quickly, repeatedly, and without implants—by engineering the cells to make them receptive to radio waves or a magnetic field.

“We’ve combined molecules already used in cells for other purposes in a manner that allows an invisible force to take control of an instinct as primal as hunger,” Friedman says.

The method links five very different biological tools, which can look whimsically convoluted, like a Rube Goldberg contraption on a molecular scale. It relies on a green fluorescent protein borrowed from jellyfish, a peculiar antibody derived from camels, squishy bags of iron particles and the cellular equivalent of a door made from a membrane-piercing protein—

all delivered and installed by a genetically engineered virus.

The remote control for this contraption is a modified welding tool (though a store-bought magnet also works). ...

So will you be getting one of Gabe Newell's deep-brain stimulation implants? Or will you be going the injection route for remote control brain jacking?

The human world is very cruel. Remember the meat factories (Slaughterhouse) in many cities and the burger joints on the next street.
