our whole body has a network of nerves travelling throughout our bodys and nerve signals are basically electric current along with chemical transmitter.So with electrical products such as remote control cars ,planes ,dvd player etc can all be controlled remotely so wouldnt realistically humans should have the same if someone out there would tune the frequency the same as humans nerves signals like the remote control cars ,planes they operate at a certain frequency?

That is a very interesting hypothesis but, I don't think that the nervous system would be able to understand the remote waves that were being sent to the brain.

To start, you would need to program the brain/spine in the same way you program a computer which isn't possible with our current technology.

study science and make that idea come true

Remotely controlled devices are so because of a receiver, while general electric interactions could trigger sympathetic nervous response, what you're talking about would require a some type of input translation. Tethered control is possible, and becoming very common in lab rats. And by control, I don't mean in they way you probably think. They can control the release of neurotransmitters that utilize electron gateways (Na+ ion gateways for example). These studies have yielded very interesting information. You can find them fairly easily.

You should also realise that this would be nigh-unethical in humans. In the case of helping disabled people to communicate/etc that type of computer/human interface is also being studied but is rather the opposite of what you're saying.
