Engineering Lab Wall Monitor

The wall-mounted monitor in the Engineering Lab runs a real-time computer simulation of the human brain linked to the Risan game's neural sensors. Wesley and Robin Lefler watch it closely as it shows spiking activity in the reticular formation and frontal lobe pleasure center, surging serotonin levels, and neuroreceptor bonding under accelerated conditions. The display confirms the game's irreversible addiction mechanism.
