None of the above; artificial neuro-stimulation does not pass through the normal sense receptors and therefore bypasses the person, the personality, the psychy. I would name it 'abnormal neuro-stimulation' causing secondary responses for diagnostic purposes. In the social context I would classify the event as anti-cultural dehumanization, but I would doubt, outside of Nazi concentration camps, such a test would happen without the patients interest in mind, i.e. diagnosis.

I guess B) biopsychological
I saw that on a film. How did they get in the person's brain in the first place? I hope the patient was not being abused. Seems like a dumb experiment nowadays. Today there are machines that can detect brain activity without cutting open someone's head.

B) biopsychological since it affects either memory or movement.
