There is no mindcontrolling involved, but brain damage is one of the many side effects of an irresponsible technology that e.g. cracks chromosomes and causes random mutations by mechanical resonance in molecules. Pulsed microwaves are the modern radium (websearch "radium girls"). It is the same moneymaking craze that drove 1920th people to buy radioactive toothpaste for a radiant smile (marketed as health gimmicks), that now makes them by bluetooth toothbrushes as a symbol of the glory of progress, and put their smartphone with sleep phase alarm clock app under their pillow until the overheating battery tonight will self-combust.
And fact is that in modern hardware pulsed microwave transmitters typically can not be turned off. So in Smart-TVs disabling wifi will only deactivate the service but not the radiation, and many TVs are designed such that the remote control (and active 3D glasses) need Bluetooth and so become unoperatable with antenna removed. See e.g.

The exact purpose here is unknown, but it is proven fact that basically all online hardware is factory-prebugged with remote maintenance backdoors (websearch "Intel Management Engine", "roving bug mode", "BadBIOS", "BadUSB") to be used by the companies themselves and intelligence services of the nations they are legally enforced to obey. E.g. the US mobile radio standard explicitly requests hidden spybug and tracking features in smartphones (roving bug mode) to permit police and secret service to eh "fight terrorism", and of course they want to spy or destroy digital communication means of foes during war. (That's why you never find a true mechanical power switch, internal lens cap and microphone switch in consumer grade online devices.) Other features are simply added by companies to make money by selling our private data or secretly updating or intentionally damaging devices for improved profit. This is the same mindedness like the exhaust fraud scandal of automobile industry (which legally enforced software updates then several times only hided the "defeat devices" better instead of removing them). E.g. after page counters in printer ink cartridges were found and deactivation codes got published against planned obsolescence, manufacturers re-enabled them by an update to keep selling overpriced ink.
You MAME folks should know better what malicious hardware tricks exist. I hoped that self-destroying encrypted firmware powered by hidden batteries only existed as "copy protection" in arcade mainboards (e.g. Capcom, Sega). But in the age of UEFI and SSD where firmware is stored inside the same encrypted flash memory like user data and slowly gets eaten by wear levelling or power glitches or hidden hour counters those no user can identify without a chip rework station for some 100k$, the entire IT technology has become perverted in the name of obsolescence disguised as security, that treats the sovereignous customer as an enemy. Modern online devices are not what they pretend to be and claim in their ads and manuals. When only remote-maintenable software prevents an online device from functioning as a spybug, the device itself needs to be treated as the bug, not the so-called "malicious" updates.
