In the 1950s, H. R. Delgado at Yale University, and James Olds at McGill University, studied the effects on behavior that implanted electrodes have on rats. In one well known experiment, when given the choice between a lever that gave the rat food, and a lever that stimulated the pleasure center of the rats brain, the rat choose the electric stimulation to the point of death.

This concept of direct stimulation of the pleasure centers of the brain have been carried over to humans is science fiction. Most recognizable in Larry Niven’s The Ringworld Engineers published in the 1980’s.

Wireheading is an invasive procedure that requires that a hole is drilled in the skull. In addition, the pleasure ‘center’ of the brain is surrounded by many other important functional areas that might not react well to a wire poking through them.

PA&CS

Theoretically any part of the brain could be wired too, thus eliciting any type of perception augmentation or control supplementation that you could imagine.

RNES

This would be the most severe and significant form of recreational electromagnetic neural stimulation.

R&E

Enhancement, the concept of human augmentation comes to mind.
