Corporelectroscopy was the process by which two (or more) people switched their minds into each others' bodies. It could allow a brain to move into another individual's body, effectively taking control.

The Javaman, a scientist with considerable imagination, called corporelectroscopy a "scientific implausibility". He was unaware that the theta-waves emitted by his Dorganator had caused the process to occur with the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown. The Doctor later told Peri that corporelectroscopy was dangerous knowledge, and that it was "best left to the Time Lords". (PROSE: Turnabout is Fair Play)

Coporelectroscopy was used by Kroagnon to transplant his brain into the Chief Caretaker of Paradise Towers. This brought about physical changes in the Chief: he walked stiffly, spoke as though his tounge was swollen, his skin took on a silvery colour, and his moustache grew. (TV: Paradise Towers)
