The '''Cerebral Inhibitor '''is a machine created by [[Cisco Ramon]] originally intended to prevent [[Barry Allen]] from creating new memories in order to be a step ahead from his future [[time remnant]] [[Savitar]]. However, this was not the case as in actuality it instead wiped Barry's long term memories instead of his short term, making it a prototype.

When [[Team Flash]] found out [[Savitar]] was a remnant of [[Barry]] in the future, therefore [[Savitar#Abilities|had all the memories of prime Barry]], the team had trouble deciding what plan they should execute, since Barry was a major part of any plan they create. Cisco and Julian created an idea: Since Savitar is linked to Barry mentally, they could stop the current Barry from creating new memories via magnetic disruption in the cerebral cortex. However, when the machine was activated the the machine instead did the opposite: It erased Barry's long term memories instead of his short term. This stripped Barry from his powers, as well as rendering him unable to connect with and remember anything from the past. While it did work in the team's favor as Savitar by extension lost his memories as well, there were several repercussions due to using the machine. There was no Flash and no Kid Flash because Savitar created Wally's powers by his own memories and ideas of creating them. However, this was undone due to the creation of another device with the help of [[Caitlin Snow|Killer Frost ]]that kickstarted Barry's temporal lobe and Barry accessing it thus regaining his memories. After this, this device was never used again.

"This is where we came up with the cerebral inhibitor to use against DeVoe."
—Savitar on using the cerebral inhibitor.[src]


The cerebral inhibitor, also known as the Mad 2.0,[1] is a device created by Harrison Wells to use against Clifford DeVoe.

History

After Cecile Horton complained about hearing Joe West's mind all night, Harrison Wells created a device to disrupt inbound brainwave broadcasts. However, the initial device was too large and Harry Wells reconfigured it to a smaller version. When Harry presented it, the two decide they should reverse the polarity so outbound brainwave broadcasts are disrupted.[2]

Harry later presented the device to Team Flash to use against Clifford DeVoe. While it appeared to affect him, DeVoe used Kilg%re's abilities to nullify the device, rendering it ineffective against him.[2]

Harry modified the instrument, allowing it to be used to read thoughts. He attached it to his daughter, Jesse, allowing her to read his thoughts and hear his memories of her mother.[3]

After Caitlin's Killer Frost side resurfaced,[4] after she had seemingly lost Killer Frost in a battle against Clifford DeVoe,[5] Caitlin began using the cerebral inhibitor to bypass the mental blockage DeVoe placed in her mind to talk with Killer Frost.[4] After a week of using the inhibitor, Caitlin and Killer Frost were able to talk and switch identities without the use of the device.[6]

When Nora West-Allen was stuck in Grace Gibbons' mind, and Barry and Iris were stuck in Nora's, Caitlin used the inhibitor to communicate with them before the device began smoking, forcing her to stop.[7]

When working to the improve King Shark's telepathic crown, Team Flash synced the crown to the cerebral inhibitor to increase the functionality of the telepathic crown, as they had feared that it wasn't working well enough to help King Shark after he'd freaked out and run off while they tried talking to him (though Team Flash later learned that the crown was working as it should; the reason King Shark had gone berserk was due to Grodd trying to control his mind, with King Shark fighting to resist him).[1]

Functions

  • Disrupting brainwave broadcasts: Although initially built to disrupt inbound brainwave broadcasts, the polarity was reversed to disrupt outbound brainwave activity.[2]
  • Thought reading: With the use of a secondary device, the cerebral inhibitor can be used to hear the thoughts of another person.[3]
