Overlord

A project developed in 1983 in England.
Scientists began work on a mental ability booster for increasing a person's mental capacity by joining his brain with a computer. Some scientists who tried the experiment on themselves by stimulating untapped areas of the mind. They increased their IQs by 15-25% but also became extremely susceptible to commands given through the computer.
The experimentation became more and more radical. Many scientists developed severe psychosis, some committed suicide and others died under mysterious circumstances.
MTC revived the project, and hired neuroscientists such as Carl Linsky, Cal Davis, John Klaus, Ron Morgan, Maurice Gribble and David Pope. They were told that the project would enhance the intelligence of Gideon Enterprises executives.
Wanda Peck made a research on that.
