deinonychus commented on the word ousiograph
"An ousiograph or oustograph is a fictitious device purported to detect messages that are sent directly to one's brain. Arising from the State v. Green case in the Court of Criminal Appeals of Tennessee, the messages are sent to a person's brain to 'direct them' and possibly control their behavior for an undetermined purpose."
(From Wikipedia, where it is also questioned if it is right to have an article about "a 'device' mentioned once in FBI notes in an investigation of a paranoid schizophrenic who killed a police officer.")
