neural chip

Cerebral silicon interface

A neural chip is a microchip designed to interface with the nervous system, either to restore lost function or enhance capabilities.

In medicine, neural chips help paralyzed patients control prosthetics or restore hearing.

In science fiction and futurism, they're imagined as brain implants enabling telepathy, memory enhancement, or direct computer access: The neural chip let him download languages directly into his brain.
