HEALTH :: SCIENTISTS look to RELEASE ‘SEX CHIP’ to REPLACE VIAGRA
POST by NVus
This is good to know when I get much older and still wanna get it poppin’. Technology is some scary shit sometimes this just adds to the already bizzare goins on in the world. A Sex chip that will keep you going like a energizer wtf?
-Viagra may soon be history, for scientists at Oxford University are working on an electronic “sex chip” that can stimulate pleasure centers in the brain.
While the current technology is crude, the researchers say that the device could be perfected within a decade.
The prospect of the chip has emerged from progress in deep brain stimulation, in which tiny shocks from implanted electrodes are given to the brain.
For past few 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 recent research survey, which was 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.
