Brain/Computer Interface	comment	In many Cyberpunk works and occasionally other sci-fi, technology is typically very advanced. Since convenience is highest priority and The Singularity is looming, it's natural to assume that the next big thing thing is embedding cables into your skull and synching your brain with a computer; since a keyboard or mouse can be cumbersome and slower than human thought, it's natural to assume that implants, headbands or helmets will be next to hit the shelves. Of course, this frequently comes with the benefits and risks of computers albeit inside a person, so expect human backups, self-enhancement, life hacking, people viruses, and Mind Rape among other things. In a few cases, the use of such interfaces may be limited to cyborgs or aliens or the genetically engineered. If everyone has one, there's a good chance you're looking at a Mind-Control Device or even an artificial Hive Mind. Sub-trope of Unusual User Interface. See Electronic Telepathy if it has wireless capability. Not to be confused with, though frequently used for, Neural Implanting, which is where data or skills are inserted into a person's brain.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_10d145d4	comment	Valhalla: "Links" are common in 2230 to hook users directly into the internet. Most citizens have small antennae behind their ears that facilitate immersion or consultation of the internet. There is also a colony of humans founded by those who have been subjects of genetic experimentation and have additional glands that emit and receive infrared signals that interface with any device that has an IR port (in this 'verse, nearly all computers have one). This is the biological version of a neural implant. A more direct approach involves plugging a cable into a port in one's temple, which people get at the same time as the implant. The port is normally covered by false skin.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_2f1032e5	comment	Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans features the Alaya-Vijnana System, spinal implants that allow the user to connect directly with a mobile suit to improve reaction time and spatial awareness. It's an interface that grows with the pilot, so it has to be put in when they are extremely young, and the procedure has a high rate of failure, generally resulting in spinal injuries, para- or quadriplegia, or even death. While the implants are severely taboo on Earth (to the point where most people treat those with implants as if they aren't even human anymore), less ethical groups like the Chryse Guard Security and Brewers will "adopt" kids and force them to undergo the surgery, abandoning them on the streets if the process fails. In the climax of the first season, after Ein Dalton's body is mangled beyond repair by Mikazuki, he agrees to a procedure that hooks his brain directly into a Super Prototype dubbed the "Graze Ein", meaning that he effectively is the Mobile Suit. The show goes on to reveal that there are significant Power Limiters in place to protect the pilot's brain, but this is seemingly dependent on the user; in one episode, Mikazuki's default settings for the Barbatos are so high that when another member of Tekkadan tries to pilot the machine, it overloads his brain and renders him temporarily comatose. Three times during the series (versus the Graze Ein, versus the Hashmal, and during the final battle), Mikazuki deliberately disables the limiters to get maximum performance out of the Barbatos, which results in his losing the use of parts of his body (his right eye and arm the first time, his legs the second time), though when he's hooked into the system, they function just fine. In the last instance, he overclocks the system when he's already mortally wounded, meaning his Gundam seemingly keeps fighting for a few minutes before his enemies cut open the cockpit and realize that he's already dead. The second season introduces a couple of variations on this: McGillis Fareed used the data gathered from Ein Dalton's procedure to get an A-V implant despite the fact that he's an adult, letting him pilot Gjallarhorn's "sword in the stone" Gundam Bael. Meanwhile, Gaelio Baudin had Ein's brainnote It's unclear if he means the actual brain matter or a computer copy of it installed into his pilot suit, allowing him to hand over control of his Gundam to Ein; this version is officially dubbed "Ä€laya-VijÃ±Ä�na System Type-E".

A slight variation occurs in "In Our Own Image", since it involves an interface with the optic nerve as opposed to the brain directly. The android Mac 27 has a device which can connect his neural net to Cecilia Fairman's optic nerve so he can show her recordings and recreations (in other words, clips from previous episodes) contained in his memory files.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_6196490	comment	In Ghost in the Shell, a number of characters, including the Major, have ports implanted onto their bodies (typically at the back of the lower neck/upper shoulders) that allow a direct connection between the brain and virtual reality; Batou and Ishikawa both use said ports to override movement through the brain and temporarily disable people. The external ports are part of what the series refers to as a cyber-brain, a complex series of interfaces connecting directly to the brain. The external ports are mostly used for high bandwidth and/or more secure connections, while virtually every character has a wireless connection as well. The sheer ubiquity of the technology, at least in Japan, is what makes skilled hackers like the Puppetmaster, the Laughing Man and the Major herself so potentially dangerous.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_69085a0	comment	Macross: One of these was part of the prototype YF-21 "Sturmvogel" in Macross Plus. The interface worked but was found to be unable to distinguish between a pilot's imagination and direct mental commands. At one point, the pilot accidentally nearly totals another plane by only considering "If I were to apply downward thrust right now, that plane would be destroyed"... and his plane immediately reacts as though that was an order. This unreliability of the interface, not to mention the intense mental discipline needed by the pilot, leads to the idea being scrapped. The production model VF-22 "Sturmvogel II" lacks any such system. Macross Frontier: The VF-27 "Lucifer"-class fighters have a thought-controlled interface for use by cyborg pilots.

Additionally, advanced training simulators can feed simulated sensory inputs into their participants' neural interfaces to make their training scenarios more authentic. Ship commanders such as Captain Jacob Keyes, meanwhile, have command neural interfaces for specialized information involved in their command. This becomes a major plot point in the first game and particularly its novelization The Flood, because this is how the Flood tried to lift the location of Earth from Keyes when they couldn't get it out of him directly. Through a Spartan neural interface, Cortana increases the Master Chief's compatibility with his MJOLNIR armor and can have further access to his suit's systems. This is also for the most part how the MJOLNIR armor works in the first place, with the user moving the armor's limbs via thought (though it still requires Super Soldiers like the Spartans to wear and make use of it — regular soldiers who tested the initial versions of the armor essentially pasted themselves because the armor moved too fast). The personal armor worn by all Forerunners includes a neurally-integrated computer system.

Akira is a type of Differently Powered Individual with a wireless interface via Transhuman Bio-Augmentation from the Old World Precursors. They all had the ability, but it's rare now and the MegaCorp around would experiment on or even dissect one, or just use them in Superhuman Trafficking. The main things it's used for are Augmented Reality (including Akira seeing his Virtual Sidekick Alpha), and Hollywood Hacking. It allows for Electronic Telepathy with A.I. and other connectors, increases ability to process information, and allows for an equivalent to Bullet Time at the cost of mental fatigue (and brain damage). Alpha also eventually connects Akira into his Everything Sensor through this to give him a sixth sense that feels like vibrations. Powered Armor generally has two modes of operation, matching the user's movements, or scanning the user's brain to start moving before the wearer. A later set of armor Akira gets even gives sense of touch through its gloves, which Alpha uses to simulate him groping her chest to tease him. Someone who's a Full-Conversion Cyborg like Kain or Nelia, can physically plug themselves directly into Automated Automobiles or Mini-Mecha to drive them much more effectively than a normal human, using its sensors as their own senses.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series: The infamous episode "Spock's Brain" deals with Spock's brain being stolen from his body and hooked up to a computer that runs a complex on a nearby planet. Star Trek: The Next Generation: Geordi La Forge's visor is an Everything Sensor that feeds information directly into his brain, often said to be more sensitive than the standard tricorder. He was born blind and was still blind without them, which makes this almost a Disability Superpower. It's shown that the pre-existing implants placed in his temples allow him limited forms of computer interface, with one episode allowing him to control a hazardous environment probe as though it was his own body. In Star Trek: First Contact, he moves on to using cybernetic ocular implants.note The in-universe explanation given in the novel verse was that Starfleet was a bit tired of the VISOR being used by hostile parties to either gather intelligence or control LaForge and wanted LaForge to have occular implants that did not have external access points. After hearing how much the occular implant technology had improved in recent years LaForge agreed. The real world explanation was that LaForge actor LeVar Burton had lobbied long and hard to have the VISOR removed as in the real world it limited Burton's sight when he wore the prop. In the episode "The Nth Degree" Lieutenant Barclay hardwires himself to the computer of the Enterprise after having his intelligence greatly increased by Cytherians. Data is able to connect to the Borg mainframe by wiring himself into the assimilated Picard's Borg implants in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II." With this direct connection Data is able to shut down the Borg, ending the immediate Borg threat when the shut down command activates the cube's self destruct mechanism. Data is directly connected to the Enterprise computer by Commander Riker in the episode "Disaster" in order to stabalize anti-matter containment. This inspires LaForge and Data to launch a project to enable Data to directly connect to the main computer in emergency situations in the episode "A Fistful of Datas." During testing, though, the interface malfunctions, leading to a whole series of unintended consequences throughout the ship. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "A Simple Investigation" features a guest character with a data port behind her ear, which she can use to bypass security systems. The dialogue makes it sound as though they're relatively freely available but often very expensive (unless you want the cheap tech directly connected to your brain). It shows up again in "Honor Among Thieves" on a member of the Orion Syndicate. In both cases, the interfaces are very useful for getting into secure systems and data, but the drawbacks include nasty physical pain from being "spiked" by security features designed to counter just such breaches, to the point where the users risk permanent damage, paralysis, or even death. It's implied that the combination of their use for breaching security barriers and the associated dangers are the main reason that such implants are mostly used by criminals (and thus have a stigma attached to them). Star Trek: Voyager: In the finale, Janeway returns from decades in the future to change the present, and she is implanted with a standard issue neural computer interface from the future. In the episode "Alice", Tom Paris gets too close to an alien shuttle with a neural interface.

Marcie's student jack makes it for medical computers to directly monitor her condition and influence her treatment. She can also use it to interface with computers, mentally conduct Instant Message conversations and learn skills quickly (albeit unpleasantly; Marcie runs away screaming when Lynne offers to teach her to read via hookup). Movie theaters take advantage of this by including sensory enhancements and "mood tracks". In the Dream Sequence storyline, the narrator has a full-immersion connection as a job perk, which allows his employer to physically pack employees like sardines, while they experience a lush virtual office setting. The plot revolves around a virtual theme park/MMORPG whose creator hosts the world inside his fully networked brain (which, of course, goes horribly wrong).

Instead, they are remotely linked by virtue of a head-enclosing capsule that tracks and reacts to neuron activation using advanced chemical detection (and presumably some kind of shunt into the brain to read all these chemical signals). The device feeds these neuron responses directly into a transmitter, giving the robot motion guidance, while the robot's sensors send visual feedback (and apparently some degree of sensate feedback in the form of 'stun') to its pilots through the same interface. How the robot is able to chemically transmit this level of information is never clarified, but it is effective enough to be the most popular way to control a HAR. They tried an alternative once, and that ended very poorly.

It was partially successful, allowing normal humans to thought control wire-guided Attack Drones, but very inefficient and unstable, meaning it was ultimately scrapped. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing has the ZERO System, which feeds data directly into the pilot's brain and reacts to his decisions practically at the speed of thought. Unfortunately, if you don't have immaculate focus, it drives you crazy. Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans features the Alaya-Vijnana System, spinal implants that allow the user to connect directly with a mobile suit to improve reaction time and spatial awareness. It's an interface that grows with the pilot, so it has to be put in when they are extremely young, and the procedure has a high rate of failure, generally resulting in spinal injuries, para- or quadriplegia, or even death. While the implants are severely taboo on Earth (to the point where most people treat those with implants as if they aren't even human anymore), less ethical groups like the Chryse Guard Security and Brewers will "adopt" kids and force them to undergo the surgery, abandoning them on the streets if the process fails. In the climax of the first season, after Ein Dalton's body is mangled beyond repair by Mikazuki, he agrees to a procedure that hooks his brain directly into a Super Prototype dubbed the "Graze Ein", meaning that he effectively is the Mobile Suit. The show goes on to reveal that there are significant Power Limiters in place to protect the pilot's brain, but this is seemingly dependent on the user; in one episode, Mikazuki's default settings for the Barbatos are so high that when another member of Tekkadan tries to pilot the machine, it overloads his brain and renders him temporarily comatose. Three times during the series (versus the Graze Ein, versus the Hashmal, and during the final battle), Mikazuki deliberately disables the limiters to get maximum performance out of the Barbatos, which results in his losing the use of parts of his body (his right eye and arm the first time, his legs the second time), though when he's hooked into the system, they function just fine. In the last instance, he overclocks the system when he's already mortally wounded, meaning his Gundam seemingly keeps fighting for a few minutes before his enemies cut open the cockpit and realize that he's already dead. The second season introduces a couple of variations on this: McGillis Fareed used the data gathered from Ein Dalton's procedure to get an A-V implant despite the fact that he's an adult, letting him pilot Gjallarhorn's "sword in the stone" Gundam Bael. Meanwhile, Gaelio Baudin had Ein's brainnote It's unclear if he means the actual brain matter or a computer copy of it installed into his pilot suit, allowing him to hand over control of his Gundam to Ein; this version is officially dubbed "Ä€laya-VijÃ±Ä�na System Type-E". Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury heavily involves the GUND technology, cyborg prosthetics designed to help with life in space, and its militarized counterpart the GUND-Arms (also known as, as you can expect, "Gundam") attempting to use the same tech to interface people to giant robots. Unfortunately, while this does allow the pilot to bring out unprecedented strength from a mobile suit and enables the use of far superior Attack Drones compared to conventional systems, it's also very, very unsafe. The engineers of the Vanadis Institute were still in the middle of figuring out how to draw a decent amount of power without frying the pilot's brain when the GUND-Arms tech was declared illegal due to, well, all the fried brains. A major portion of the story deals with the mystery of Gundam Aerialâ€™s ability to use this technology without frying peopleâ€™s brains. It involves having at least twelve copies of the brain patterns of a four year old girl.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_90e2f673	comment	Present in BattleTech. Enhanced Imaging and the Direct Neural Interface are implants which basically allows the pilot to directly control the BattleMech with their mind, rather than with the standard joysticks and neuro-helmet. Protomechs all use this, as they're too small to fit a cockpit. The devices have a number of drawbacks, such as crippling withdrawal symptoms and causing the pilot to go slowly insane. For standard issue control interfaces in BattleMechs, however, the ubiquitous Neurohelmet is used, albeit only to balance the mech. Instead of invasive neurosurgery, all the neurohelmet requires is a clean haircut around the temples and a tolerance for a scalp-crawling sensation. Depending on the technological capacity of the time period that a neurohelmet was manufactured, neurohelmets can range from something the size of a real-life fighter helmet to giant bulky crude 10-pound monstrosities.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_91f0110a	comment	Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere has aircraft controlled in this manner, through an ENSI (Electro-Neuron-Synapse-Interface) that replaces the standard stick and throttle to allow the user to control the plane with their thoughts. The Super Prototype X-49 Night Raven uses an "Opto-Neuron-Synapse-Interface" instead, which requires some surgery on the user to connect first, and which artificially accelerates the brain's neural network to allow for greater combat performance, at the cost of increased mental strain on the user that can lead to brain damage. The system as a whole is known as COFFIN, or Connection for Flight Interface. Said acronym also lampshades the fact that COFFIN systems are mutually exclusive with ejection seats due to integrating the pilot so deeply with the plane that there's no time to safely unplug the pilot in case of an emergency.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_94f77848	comment	Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury heavily involves the GUND technology, cyborg prosthetics designed to help with life in space, and its militarized counterpart the GUND-Arms (also known as, as you can expect, "Gundam") attempting to use the same tech to interface people to giant robots. Unfortunately, while this does allow the pilot to bring out unprecedented strength from a mobile suit and enables the use of far superior Attack Drones compared to conventional systems, it's also very, very unsafe. The engineers of the Vanadis Institute were still in the middle of figuring out how to draw a decent amount of power without frying the pilot's brain when the GUND-Arms tech was declared illegal due to, well, all the fried brains. A major portion of the story deals with the mystery of Gundam Aerialâ€™s ability to use this technology without frying peopleâ€™s brains. It involves having at least twelve copies of the brain patterns of a four year old girl.

The interface worked but was found to be unable to distinguish between a pilot's imagination and direct mental commands. At one point, the pilot accidentally nearly totals another plane by only considering "If I were to apply downward thrust right now, that plane would be destroyed"... and his plane immediately reacts as though that was an order. This unreliability of the interface, not to mention the intense mental discipline needed by the pilot, leads to the idea being scrapped. The production model VF-22 "Sturmvogel II" lacks any such system.

In Jack McKinney's tie-in novels, Earth mecha have a similar system, the Thinking Cap.

The interface allows a single person to control all of the ship's systems on any ship from a shuttle to a 20km long titan, with much faster reactions and better control than a human crew manually controlling it could have (NPC ships are controlled by crews, and with the exception of CONCORD, are relatively weak). There is debate about whether ships flown by pod pilots actually have any crew at all or have completely automated systems, but it is normally accepted that smaller ships have none, while large ships have significantly smaller crews than would be needed without a pod pilot. One of the Chronicles confirms that an Apocalypse battleship has over two thousand crew who go down with the ship.

Typically, on their own ships, they can interface with the system by putting their hands in a stream of luminous water called the "datastream". It's unclear if there are electrical or biochemical transmitters to go with the light-based data connection, but it sure looks cool, especially with nearby displays that show oddly familiar data glyphs in a falling pattern. It helps that they're Artificial Humans.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_ed2a7866	comment	Multiple variants appear in the Sword Art Online/Accel World universe. NerveGears are bulky, head-concealing helmets that use some kind of microwave transmitter to intercept signals between the brain and the body, providing the user with a perfect virtual reality environment in a process called FullDive. First appeared in 2022. AmuSpheres are visor-like devices that are essentially a far more compact NerveGear with significant improvements in user safety. For that reason, the two are fully inter-compatible. Appeared sometime during 2023. The Medicuboid is a medical device used for terminal patients that not only allows them a higher quality of life through VR, but also uses stronger electromagnets than NerveGears to stop spinal reflexes, making it an effective alternative to traditional anesthesia. Brain Implant Chips are small devices permanently installed beneath the dura mater. They were the first devices to feature Augmented Reality in the form of an Unusual User Interface where the user uses hand gestures to manipulate interface elements that only he can see but are also illegal due to the risk of brain hacking and exam cheating. It also hides the user from Brain Burst matching lists but at a cost: if BB is uninstalled, the chip dissolves into the cerebrospinal fluid. The NeuroLinker is the legal successor of the BIC: a small, choker-like device worn around the neck that provides both Augmented Reality and FullDive. Unlike the BIC, NeuroLinkers are completely non-invasive and can be taken off with no ill effects. Completely ubiquitous by 2046.

Based on the context of the news article (the fact that a teenage girl has one is mentioned alongside having a tattoo and wearing black), these are looked upon negatively. Early in Deus Ex: Human Revolution you encounter a "Purist" hacker with a "neural hub". The fact that an anti-aug terrorist has wires sticking out of his skull is one of the first major hints that something is up. Panchaea's supercomputer requires a set of spinal implants (as possessed by Zhao Yun Ru and the Hyron Drones powering it) to be directly accessed. In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, investing Praxis into your Hacking skill tree upgrades Jensen's own neural interface, allowing it to use increasingly large parts of his brain for extra processing power when attacking "secure" devices.

Brain/Computer Interface / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: Geordi La Forge's visor is an Everything Sensor that feeds information directly into his brain, often said to be more sensitive than the standard tricorder. He was born blind and was still blind without them, which makes this almost a Disability Superpower. It's shown that the pre-existing implants placed in his temples allow him limited forms of computer interface, with one episode allowing him to control a hazardous environment probe as though it was his own body. In Star Trek: First Contact, he moves on to using cybernetic ocular implants.note The in-universe explanation given in the novel verse was that Starfleet was a bit tired of the VISOR being used by hostile parties to either gather intelligence or control LaForge and wanted LaForge to have occular implants that did not have external access points. After hearing how much the occular implant technology had improved in recent years LaForge agreed. The real world explanation was that LaForge actor LeVar Burton had lobbied long and hard to have the VISOR removed as in the real world it limited Burton's sight when he wore the prop. In the episode "The Nth Degree" Lieutenant Barclay hardwires himself to the computer of the Enterprise after having his intelligence greatly increased by Cytherians. Data is able to connect to the Borg mainframe by wiring himself into the assimilated Picard's Borg implants in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II." With this direct connection Data is able to shut down the Borg, ending the immediate Borg threat when the shut down command activates the cube's self destruct mechanism. Data is directly connected to the Enterprise computer by Commander Riker in the episode "Disaster" in order to stabalize anti-matter containment. This inspires LaForge and Data to launch a project to enable Data to directly connect to the main computer in emergency situations in the episode "A Fistful of Datas." During testing, though, the interface malfunctions, leading to a whole series of unintended consequences throughout the ship.
