The ability to have an augmented brain. Variation of Robotic Body Parts.
==Also Called==
*Brain/Neural Implant
*Enhanced Brain
*Modified Brain
==Capabilities==
The user has an augmented brain inside their head, allowing them to directly or remotely connect to various machines.
==Applications==
==Associations==
*Advanced Technology
**Artificially Enhanced Physiology
*Bionic Physiology
**Technorganic Physiology
*Cyberpresence
*Experientially Induced Powers
**Body Modification
*Microchip Implantation
*Robotic Body Parts
**Cybernetic Spine
*Superior Human Physiology
**Augmented Superior Human
==Limitations==
*The implant may make the user emotionless.
*The implant may be (temporarily) shut down by an electromagnetic pulse, making the user die slowly.
*May still be vulnerable to users of Electricity Manipulation.
*Crash! users could put a user's life in danger or even kill them by shutting down their implant.
*The implant may cause the user death.

Ptilopsis.png|Joyce "Ptilopsis" Moore (Arknights) has her brain augmented with an Originium-based direct neural interface named "Device #9".
Joshua O'Brien and Anatolia's Mercenary's Emblem.jpg|Each Lynx (Armored Core 4 series) has the Allegorical Manipulation System (AMS), a NEXT piloting system that doubles as a product of cutting-edged brain physiology and neuroscience. It allows him/her to control NEXTs using thoughts.

Mass-Produced Nikke FB.png|Nikkes (Goddess of Victory: Nikke) have their brains floeded with nanomachines referred to as NIMPH (Neuro-Implanted Machine for the Protection of Humans), which manipulate the synaptic connections of neurons to control memories. This allows Nikkes to make a "backup" of their memories and thus can be revived from death, so long as their brain is intact. However, this also makes Nikkes vulnerable to alteration, or even erasure of their memory.
