A Russian researcher with a cult following claims to have implanted a chip into his brain in the bold hopes of being able to control his dreams.

Michael Raduga put his life on the line last month as he lost more than a 'litre of blood' while performing brain surgery on himself in his home in Kazakhstan.

The 40-year-old, who has no neurosurgery qualifications, compared his extremely dangerous experiment to the film of Inception - claiming his 'electrode' one day has the potential to change the course of lucid dreams.

Gruesome footage of the procedure shows him holding his skin back with paper clips while bulldozing the back of his skull using a drill he found at a hardware store.

The life-threatening study has not appeared in any peer-reviewed journals and is not backed by any universities, but Mr Raduga claimed he needed to do it for himself.

Well, you gotta admire his commitment.

Didn’t his sister win fourth place in some kind of Kazahkstan beauty contest?

Reminds of the lines from Ghostbusters:

Peter: Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head, remember that?
Egon: That would have worked if you didn’t stop me.

Would it be wrong to take out a large life insurance policy on him? I sense a good investment.

If you can change the cabin filter in you're Buick, you can perform brain implant surgery on yourself, and do it at home!

Paging Red Green. Paging Red Green.

I always wondered why they didn’t have Red’s suspender colors match the running lights on boats, with red on the left and green on the right.

I guess lighting himself on fire was not an option.

Brilliant! Ha ha ha! I like it.

I might try that out myself. I've got the red suspenders. Now I need a green "donor" pair!

There are some people (not me!) who have an extraordinarily high threshold for pain. They may feel ‘something’, but it’s not severe pain. That could be either a blessing or a curse.
I’ve never been hesitant to request pain relief after a certain level has been exceeded. I stopped pretending I was Superman back in Kindergarten.

The chip he implanted was specifically a “Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch Dorito.”
