Neuro-scanner

A neuro-scanner is a piece of advanced technology appearing in Wolf 359. It was likely created by Miranda Pryce for Goddard Futuristics. The neuro-scanner allows the contents of a person's brain to be read as data which can be read, stored and transmitted. This can occur without the person's consent.
The neuro-scanner's appearance is similar to that of a dental chair with surgical-like attachment and a halo around the head. Use of the scanner causes significant pain to the subject.
A scanner was installed on the ship secretly for Hilbert to find, hidden behind a door marked "Open in case of emergencies. Open only when you are alone." Hilbert and Lovelace discovered the neuro-scanner with a hidden message from Cutter in Happy Endings. In Desperate Times, Hilbert considered using the machine, but it is unknown if he went through with it.
Cutter and Pryce brought a neuro-scanner with them on the Sol when they arrived in A Place for Everything. They used this on Eiffel to learn about his encounter with the Dear Listeners. They may have used it on other members of the crew as well, as they subsequently placed Lovelace into the machine. However, the scanner was broken in this attempt because of Lovelace's nature as a duplicate.Category:Technology
