I think this would only happen if the device did not work properly. But even then, I tend to think it would probably do more damage not less. The amount of electricity going through the brain tissue, neurons (nerve cells), and synapses would be enough not only to short circuit the brain but to basically burn it to such an extent that it would be unable to function at any level.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
