Behavior-Modification Circuitry

Behavior-Modification Circuitry was a behavior modification device used by The Initiative. It was a chip implanted directly into the brain of certain Hostile Subterrestrials, which prevented them from wilfully harming or attempting to harm any non-demon lifeform by causing a painful shock directly into the brain.

The only known victim of the chip was Spike. The rest of the Initiative's prisoners were able to attack other human beings, as proved during the battle between the Initiative soldier's and the demon prisoners. It is also possible the chip was activated only outside a radius of influence, as Spike was able to attack while escaping The Initiative.

As the creation of behaviorists, the chip is intended to modify observable behavior and not desires or instincts, which are outside the concerns of Behaviorism.
