(A name change that slipped through the net, again, addition of the device’s name in Japanese would be good to see 👍) |

The Brainwave Control Device is a mind-control device first used by the Virasians in the 1968 Daiei film Gamera vs. Viras.
Appearance
In Gamera vs. Viras, the Brainwave Control Device is a round object patterned similarly to the Virasian UFO with concentric yellow circles. It is comprised of two units, a smaller device that can be held by hand, and a larger, hemispherical version which attaches to the target to be controlled.
In Gamera: Super Monster, the device’s design is very different; it is silver in colour, and shaped like a flattened cone.
History
Showa era
Gamera vs. Viras
After Gamera keeps attacking the Virasians, the aliens learn of his love for children. They take two boy scouts named Masao and Jim hostage, which attracts Gamera's attention. After subduing the Kaiju with the Virasian UFO's Super Catch Ray, the Virasians decide to deploy the Brainwave Control Device to put Gamera under their control. Attaching the device to the back of Gamera's neck using the Virasian UFO, the Virasians order Gamera to destroy Okomasashi Dam and the outskirts of Tokyo, but their efforts fail when Masao and Jim sabotage it.
Gamera: Super Monster
Appearing through stock footage, the device is used again, this time by the unseen captain of the Zanon. Once again, Gamera attacks and destroys a dam, but the device is broken once more, this time by the Spacewomen.
