The Orgasmatron - implantiruut a pleasure

Recently, news feeds around the world excitedly reported wonderful implant that can give an orgasm with just one touch of a button.

Orgasmatron, patented by Dr Stuart Meloy, is a small box with a wire that attaches to the spine. This unit can send a signal of pleasure, either directly by the user. As it turned out, this technology is quite an interesting story, reports the BBC.

Recent news about the device is exclusively grounded on article 13-year-old, who recently appeared on-line. Prior to that, Melissa for many years unsuccessfully tried to attract interest and investment to continue work on the device.

Melissa is a physician and co-founder of the clinic, dealing with patients who suffer from chronic pain. In the clinic, he began to work with electronic implants. These devices using low-frequency impulses through the spinal nerves send signals that allows you to ease the pain. Once one of the patients, which installed an implant reported they discovered a side effect: intensively emitted the pleasant sensations.

Melissa realized how powerful technology was in his hands — these implants can be a great help in the treatment of men and women suffering from sexual dysfunction. It was over a decade ago, but despite a successful career of a physician, the progress of Måløy on the Orgasmatron has stalled.

The stumbling block was the generator was about $ 25000. Scientists believe that Orgasmotron could operate from a less powerful power source sufficient to maintain pulsing of the pulse, lasting about 1 hour. "For the treatment of sexual dysfunction, it is sufficient to use a throbbing pulses of very short time, but every day, for example, on the way to work," says Melissa. Unfortunately, he was never able to convince any medical company to support the development of the device.

The reason was the question of who will pay for the installation of the implant. "Insurance companies will not pay for something that relates to the field of experimental research," he explains. Although scientist are already hundreds of patients with embedded devices for pain management, implantation for the treatment of sexual dysfunction would be a breach of legislation.

Despite the headlines, the device has so far not been shown. To obtain approval from the American health care system, Malou will have to conduct research, which will cost about $6 million "Such money now, I have not" — he sighs.

Oddly enough, Melissa is not the first person who came up with the idea of installing a pleasure button in humans. In 1950, another doctor of the United States, named Robert Gabriel Hit treating psychological disorders in the Department of psychiatry and neurology at Tulane University in New Orleans, tried to implement a similar lobotomy, but less destructive means of managing neurons in the brain. He combined electrotherapy using a dental drill to make tiny holes in the patients skull, through which was run a thin metal probes that transmit electrical impulses directly to the brain.

Heath found that artificial excitation of neurons can cause a burst of joy, and, if desired, patients could independently switch level receive pleasure, to control his mood.

Once the patient is clocked 1500 doses of fun in a three-hour period, but in General, the subjects showed amazing restraint (unlike rats who pressed the button of pleasure until the point of exhaustion).

Button fun of the Hit led to the visit of the representative of the CIA, who were interested in the possibilities of this technology to inflict pain during interrogation and mind control being questioned. Heath threw this man out of his laboratory. "If I wanted to be a spy, I'd be a spy," — he said his position in an interview with the New York Times in an interview. -I always wanted to be a doctor and to develop the medicine."

Another researcher who stumbled upon the ability to manipulate the brain to produce pleasant sensations, was josé Manuel Rodriguez Delgado. He also joined the pacemakers of the brain with sensors controlling the process remotely. Delgado was so confident in his technology that he jumped into the arena opposite one of his experimental animals — bull. Delgado was able to stop the animal or force it to run in circles.
