Research
Among other research, he is known for having contributed to the development of the graduated electronic decelerator or GED which is an aversive conditioning device that delivers a powerful electric skin shock to punish behaviors considered undesirable. Dr. Iwata later spoke out against the use of GEDs and stated that he found success treating even the most difficult of self injurious behaviors using less punitive methods. GEDs have since been banned in the United States by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2020.
