Dr. José Manuel Rodriguez Delgado (born August 8, 1915) is a Spanish professor of physiology at Yale University, famed for his research into mind control through electrical stimulation of regions in the brain. Delgado was born in Ronda, Spain in 1915. He received a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Madrid just before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, in which he served as a medical corpsman on the Republican side. After the war he had to repeat his M.D. degree, and then took a Ph.D. at the Cajal Institute in Madrid. In 1946 he began a fellowship at Yale, and was invited by the noted physiologist John Fulton to join the department of physiology in 1950. In 1974, Delgado returned to Spain to help organize a new medical school at the Autonomous University of Madrid.
