Thought maker

Thought maker

A Thought Maker is a Ferengi-manufactured device designed to control the neural activity or "brainwash" the humanoid brain, making the subject highly susceptable to suggestion. It is illegal to use or even possess one of these devices within the Ferengi Alliance.

In 2364, Ferengi DaiMon Bok used a Thought Maker on Jean-Luc Picard as revenge for killing his son years before. Bok made Picard believe that he was again captain of the USS Stargazer, and that the USS Enterprise-D was an attacking enemy vessel. (TNG: "The Battle")
