Brain domination apparatus
A mind control device is a hypothetical or fictional apparatus that manipulates someone's thoughts, beliefs, or behavior without their consent.
The concept appears frequently in science fiction and conspiracy theories: The villain used a mind control device to enslave the population.
In looser usage, anything that captures attention or shapes opinion might be called a mind control device: Some parents treat smartphones like mind control devices.
