The subject's higher mind is locked away. He stands dazed, unable to take any psionic actions (including manifesting powers or using psionic feats that require a decision to be used) nor any mental actions at all. A brain locked subject is not stunned, so attackers get no special advantage against him.
A brain locked flyer must descend to the closest safe level area below it. An air-breathing swimmer must make for the surface.
