what about using stimulating electrodes? Penfield did this sort of thing and was able to 'activate' patients memories by electrically stimulating their brains. What about stimulating 'pleasure centers' in the brain? What areas constitute the 'pleasure centers' in the brain? Are they part of a single system? How do I go about hooking up stimulating electrodes to my own brain? I kind of like the idea of electrically stimulating my own pleasure centers or other areas. Have other people tried this? Why don't we hear more about such things?

I often wonder the same things. Human studies with direct electrical stimulation have been very promising. Humans don't respond like rats do when their pleasure sensors are stimulated. Also, a pacemaker fashioned electrical stimulator of one's pleasure centers has been tried and proven beneficial;

If only neurosurgery weren't so expensive. Drug companies have no money to make off the success of such interventions.
