The word "cyranoid" should really be a lot less obscure than it is given recent developments.

[Embedded image: Wikipedia excerpt]
In social psychology research, a cyranoid is a person whose speech is controlled by covert radio transmissions originating from another.[1] The concept was developed by psychologist Stanley Milgram as a research method, and he conducted experiments where teachers interviewed 11- and 12-year old children while unaware that their responses were being prompted by Milgram over a radio connection.

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.
