Hey SavageDogg38, thanks for commenting. 1) Rewarding brain stimulation (RBS) is different from heroin: it's brief (<1s), it's delivered throughout the rewarded task (e.g. with each pull on an exercise machine) and in the case of iPlants the electrical current would be as weak as possible. 2) There's no intention to stop delivering RBS and hope users would continue: RBS for relevant tasks would be provided indefinitely. 3) People are not rats but the reward systems of the two species are remarkably similar.

Users who nevertheless feel a strong need to cheat would have to break the access control encryption of their own iPlant. This encryption would be in place to prevent all forms of unauthorized access and would have to be very sophisticated and heavily enforced.

I have watched all your videos here and I agree this research needs to be open but I see failure already. What your saying is no different than giving someone heroin after doing something rewarding as if they will later without the heroin, repeat the same task. This is false however because they will instead seek out more heroin. People are not rats, they will know where the reward came from and seek it out. It is unavoidable. I repeat, we are not RATS!
