Cyranoid

Cyranoids are "people who do not speak thoughts originating in their own central nervous system: Rather, the words they speak originate in the mind of another person who transmits these words to the cyranoid by radio transmission". The concept was developed by psychologist Stanley Milgram as a research method.

The concept is named after the French writer Cyrano de Bergerac, as it was based on a fictionalized depiction of Cyrano in the theatrical play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand.
