Technology previously used to treat Parkinson's Disease has been directed elsewhere. Scientists claim to have developed a chip that can be implanted into the brain and used to deliver "feelings of pleasure".
The target of the chip is the Orbitofrontal Cortex. Just behind the eyes, it's the bit of your noggin that's associated with pleasure derived from food and sex. The implementation is still a bit clunky at the moment - you have to run a wire from the chip in the brain to a heart pacemaker, which I imagine isn't too comfortable. Neurosurgery professor Tipu Aziz, said:
"There is evidence that this chip will work. 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."

Lul i want one, my sex drive is too high so it would have to do the reverse of what it does
Meh, this was done back in the early 20th century to mental patients. Doctors would surgically implant a line of material into the frontal brain allowing the patient to "wiggle" it at will and stimulate happiness.
Granted this is a 'slightly' more sophisticated technique but still....
WOOHOOOO!!
Lets have this compulsory retro-fitted at the age of 21! :D
Scientists are such idiots.
Why do they waste their time on things like this?
They should be out getting laid.

thanks for this post.
This chip could be great! On the other side, there are so many other solutions to find in order to improve sick people...
