neural link
Mind-machine bridge
A neural link is a direct connection between the brain and an external device, allowing signals to pass between neurons and computers.
The technology remains largely experimental, associated with medical applications like restoring movement to paralyzed patients or treating neurological conditions.
Science fiction imagines neural links enabling telepathy, memory uploads, or seamless human-machine integration: The neural link let her control the drone with her thoughts.
