I'm writing a sci-fi story and I had a question. There's

It would be possible to control what they say. On the other hand, if the guys who installed the chip aren't brainlets, they'd probably pre-program the chip to prevent the controlled one from saying something like "I'm being controlled"

Thanks. One more question. Would they be consciously aware that they're being controlled, or would the chip take over them completely and they'd be like a robot or something?

They would probably take intrusive thoughts as their own.

The way The Turing Test, a game (inb4 >>/v/) did it was an implant in the right arm that modified dopamine levels (coupled with implanting thoughts?) to control the person. They were unaware of the device until put into a faraday cage where they experienced free will.

High dopamine levels would cause them to suffer schizophrenic symptoms, which is retarded if you want to control them.

>Would they be able to say "help I'm being controlled", or would they say whatever the person controlling them wants them to? Or, would only be able to control their mouth physically and keep it shut, so they were only able to mumble and make noises?
It could function in any of those ways, depending on how the system is designed.

this is very difficult to say since although we can observe the correlates of activities in the moments pre-speech and action, as well as having decently chronicled maps of aspects of language in the brain such as across the cortices, as part of circuits, context-gated by the hippocampus etc it's not always clear how they relate both to the initiation and maintenance of actions and conscious, phenomenological experience.
Of course, if you have a story where you are controlling every aspect of a brain with a chip I'm sure you can hand waive pretty much any ambiguity you want away.

Since this is sci-fi I guess you could come up with somewhat coherent models for both, as well as intermediate states, such as psychotic-like phenomena where the person experiences intrusive thoughts without being able to make a clear distinction between their own cognitive processes and external influences.

Create a chip that can control and manipulate brain signals on a whim and you control the essence of a person their self rendering them nothing more than a puppet.

Could these brain signals be sent/manipulated wirelessly? Like through a supercomputer or something?

*They would still have the chip. But could the signals be sent to the chip that way?
