Wirehead

A Wirehead is a person who uses technology to stimulate the pleasure centers of their brain.
==Overview==
Wireheadding is a process of using cybernetic implants to directly send electrical pulses to the part of the brain responsible for the feeling of pleasure. The technology was first instigated in prisons in the early 2000s, which were all passed their capacity at that point. The practice of Wireheadding is illegal in all countries, but the implants necessary are easy to create.
The standard Wireheadding aparatus is a specialised form of Interface Plugs which a battery can be plugged into in order to cause the part of the brain responsible for the feeling of pleasure to be forcefully activated. Incorrect Wireheadding can cause brain damage.
