The title says it all, though some may want to look the definition of nerve stapling.

For the lazy ones: ''When strapped to a patient's head and upper back, the nerve stapler extrudes hair-fine probes into his brain and spinal column. A psychotherapist can then use the device to inflict extreme sensations (not necessarily pain) on the patient, subjecting him to a rapid course of psychological conditioning.''

Basically, do ^ to induce positive sensations on the general, most panic-prompt population, creating "happy" citizens instead of fearful, sad or angry citizens.

The question is how effective would it be against the Grimm? They are attracted to negative emotions, but what if, say Atlas, forced it's citizens to be happy instead of angry, be ecstatic instead of sad. IOW, replace all their negative emotions with positive ones, forcefully. Would it work? Would it keep away the Grimm?
