Cerebral Accelerator

Cerebral Accelerator implants are a form of Cybernetic Cerebral Enhancement that enables users to vastly increase their mental processing speed. Today, Cerebral Accelerators are mainly employed as a learning aid allowing children to complete primary, secondary, and tertiary education by as early as 10 years old, with knowledge on par with the archaic Master's Degree. Cerebral Accelerators also have applications in the military and industrial sectors to increase concentration and reaction time, preventing work accidents and improving productivity.

## Invention

### Experiments in bioware

The first clinical trials to install high powered bionic limbs caused bone fractures and major trauma to the wearer as the human body is not designed to handle such high forces. Varying ways of attaching the bionic limb attachment was tested to try and find a way around this limitation. Strapping them to the body non-invasively did not work as the high powered bionics just tear the strap off, leaving the subject with minor bruises and chafing. While the polar opposite solution to attach the bionics directly to the skeletal structure caused major complications as the human bone structure cannot handle the forces involved. The researchers came to the conclusion that the subjects need a full replacement of their skeletal structure with high tensile strength titanium alloy to be able to finally withstand the forces involved with superhuman strength and agility. Having superhuman strength and agility made the body hard to control, because the brain cannot process movement information at a high enough speed to match the bionic augmentations. Attempts by researchers to address this problem laid the groundwork for later research into Cerebral Acceleration implants.

### BrainBurst reverse engineering

The first prototype for Cerebral Acceleration was invented in the year 2061, based largely on the results of reverse engineering an obscure underground illegal Neuralink application: BB2039.nrl. The BB2039 app, better known as BrainBurst, was a secret application which allowed a person to make time subjectively "stop" by temporarily accelerating brain activity by 1024 times through a Neuralink device. This application also doubled as a fighting game where a person fights for "Burst Points" that they can consume to use the Cerebral Acceleration Function.

BrainBurst was soon made illegal after authorities discovered the app's ability to directly alter the memory of the losing players to forget any associated memories regarding BrainBurst, thus enabling the app to maintain its secrecy. Though BrainBurst itself had been outlawed, the research into Cerebral Acceleration the app had inspired was permitted to continue.

### Approval

After extensive research, development and regulatory hurdles, Cerebral Acceleration was finally approved for public use in 2068, allowing people to increase their brain processing speed and streamline their thought processes. This breakthrough in technology sparked a period of exponentially increased productivity in research and academia across a multitude of disciplines.

## CAPABLE Act

Main article: CAPABLE Act

In the year 2071, the World Government Organization (WGO) passed the CAPABLE Act (Cerebral Accelerator Potentiated Ability at Birth or by Lawful Equipment Act), requiring every newborn baby to be implanted with a Cerebral Accelerator, and granting all legal citizens of the United World the right to receive an implant.
The CAPABLE Act was met with protest by various groups, resulting in the WGO amending the law to make the implants optional rather than mandatory.
