System and method for temporary disabling the vocal faculties of a person. A voice disabler is implanted between the skull and the anterior occipital lobe of a human subject. The disabler has positive and negative electrodes exposed to the exterior of a bio-proof, non-toxic casing, such that the electrodes interface with the occipital lobe. The casing includes a battery and a switching circuit for applying an electrical charge to the electrodes of a predetermined duration and voltage. The switching circuit is responsive to the detection of radiofrequency triggering signal emitted by an extra-body remote control.
