Human Hive Mind Alterations

+0
−0

Context

I got this man who can control millions of insects at a time to fight. He accomplishes this thanks to the microbots(smaller than bacteria) in his nervous system that react to his mind and send signals to the other microbots in the insects allowing limited control of the insects motor systems and senses. He still cannot override how the creatures' motor system works(a millipede would still have a hard time breaking at cliffs because of how their legs work no matter how much control he has over it). Also solitary insects are also harder to control in bulk and take more energy to control(with the exception being locusts).

My question:

What kind of alterations would be needed to be made to the human brain to handle this task of insect mass control?

Qualifications

  • needs to control millions of insects in swarms at a time
  • needs to have a sensory link with insects
  • needs to be able to make multiple types of insects cooperate with each other
