agony booth
The agony booth was a device that created intense pain through direct stimulation of the nervous system. Although more commonly seen in operation by the Terran Empire of the Mirror Universe,[1] Klingon officers in the mid- to late-23rd century were also known to use agony booths to inflict punishment on their subordinates.[2] The agony booths could selectively induce pain by direct stimulation of the brain, and were primarily used as instruments of torture.[1]
