What a turn-on: science develops bionic sex chip
December 21, 2008
What a turn-on: science develops bionic sex chip John Harlow FORGET Viagra: scientists are working on an electronic “sex chip” that will be able to stimulate pleasure centres in the brain. The prospect of the chip, which could be a decade away, is emerging from progress in deep brain stimulation, in which tiny shocks from implanted electrodes are given to the brain. The technology has been used in America to treat Parkinson’s disease. In recent months scientists have been focusing on an area of the brain just behind the eyes known as the orbitofrontal cortex. This is associated with feelings of pleasure derived from eating and sex. A research survey conducted by Morten Kringelbach, senior fellow at Oxford University’s department of psychiatry, and reported in the Nature Reviews Neuroscience journal, found that the orbitofrontal cortex could be a “new stimulation target” to help people suffering from anhedonia, an inability to experience pleasure from such activities. Stimulating this area can produce pleasure as intense as “devouring a delicious pastry”, he said. His colleague Tipu Aziz, a professor of neurosurgery at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, predicted a significant breakthrough in the science behind a “sex chip” within 10 years. “There is evidence that this chip will work,” Aziz said last week. “A few years ago a scientist implanted such a device into the brain of a woman with a low sex drive and turned her into a very sexually active woman. She didn’t like the sudden change, so the wiring in her head was removed.” The wiring remains a hurdle: Aziz says current technology, which requires surgery to connect a wire from a heart pacemaker into the brain, causes bleeding in some patients and is “intrusive and crude”. By 2015, he predicts, micro-computers in the brain with a range of applications could be self-powered and controlled by hand-held transmitters. “When the technology is improved, we can use deep brain stimulation in many new areas. It will be more subtle, with more control over the power so you may be able to turn the chip on and off when needed. “In 10 years’ time the range of therapies available will be amazing – we don’t know half the possibilities yet,” he said. An electronic machine that generates sexual sensations is already under development by a North Carolina doctor, Stuart Meloy, who is modifying a spinal cord stimulator to produce pleasure in women. He calls it the Orgasmatron, a name taken from an orgasm-producing device in the 1973 Woody Allen film Sleeper. A similar device, the Excessive Machine, featured in Jane Fonda’s 1968 film, Barbarella. Some critics regard the techniques as only a step away from brain washing. “We are being led to big philosophical questions by rapid technological advances,” said Mahlon DeLong of Emory University in Atlanta, who has pioneered breakthroughs in brain stimulation to help Parkinson’s sufferers. “If we don’t discuss them now, they may be taking place before we can resolve the issues.” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle5375573.ece Pathetic. Sex sells - another front has been opened up in convincing the public to accept chipping |

I expect to just waste away and die of hunger, hooked up to an outlet, what use could they possibly make of that?

it's straight out of science and discoveries:

So your dreams aren't very Freudian -- we'll they can fix that for you and watch at the same time. But then maybe some blind people can already see underneath other peoples' clothes (or into their dreams and thoughts?):

why dont you post these in the relevant thread specific to this tech, Drew? At least people will find them then should they be searching for that information.

You ain't sitting in full-lotus is ya? haha. Dude when that dancing lady right-brain left-brain test was online a year ago or so -- who was the one who could switch from each dominance at choice, making the lady change directions at will? At least you got to move the latest salvia trip thread to a new section -- that had to give you a nice power rush. haha. It's all connected anyway -- so read Ulysses in a trance like penguins porpoising off Patagonia.
