Neural Interface Implant

Neural Interface Implant (TL9)

A neural interface permits the user to control electronic devices using his mind. It picks up electronic impulses and translates them into electrochemical signals in his brain. There are two models in common use, and some people may implant both:

Neural Jack (TL9)

This is a socket implanted in the body (usually the back of the neck, base of the spine, or skull) with a communications interface. The user can plug an optical cable into it and connect to a phone line, modem, etc.

Statistics: Cable Jack (Sensie, +80%) [9]. 9 points. Accessibility: Major procedure (minor at TL10-12). $4,000. LC3.

Wireless Neural Interface (TL9)

This is a wireless neural interface radio with a one-mile range. It can also function as a radio communicator.

Statistics: Radio (Reduced Range, ×1/10, -30%; Secure, +20%; Sensie, +80%) [17]. 17 points.

Accessibility: Major procedure (minor at TL10-12). $5,000. LC3.
