Intent: To create a Neural Enhancer Implant to decrease reaction times and boost cognition.
Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/41556-another-step-for-cyber-kind/
Manufacturer: InVal Cybernetics
Model: EX-1 Inhibitor Enhancement.
Affiliation: InVal Cybernetics
Modularity: Non Modular
Production: Minor
Material: Fiber-Optic Micro Cables, Surgical Steel Micro Canisters
Description: The EX-1 is designed to increase the brains ability to process information and decrease reaction time to compliment the processing power.

The Micro Canisters contain psychotomimetic doses of amphetamine, dizocilpine maleate (MK801), and (+/-)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine hydrochloride (DOI) for accuracy, and cognitive-enhancing doses of amphetamine, nicotine, and (+/-)-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(1H)-3-benzazepine-7,8-diol hydrochloride (SKF38393 hydrochloride) were examined for improvements in performance. While under the influence of the chemicals, psyche may be impacted, reverting to primal understandings and instincts. Over use prolongs aforementioned effect. Sever overdose cases have concluded that the brain may sustain a permanent psychosis of schizophrenia and anxiety. Recommend limited dose of chemicals. Setting have been placed to restrict user access to up dosage. Including a fail safe; if product failure or malfunction is detected by the Mother Control System, the implant is shut down. A data pad is included with implant to monitor the implant.

All chemicals used in these canisters allow the brain more rational cognition, enabling the mind to process surroundings and incoming information. The adrenaline, nicotine and amphetamine in appropriate doses lets the muscles respond quicker and more accurately. Reaction time will decrease by as much as .05 of a second. This is to allow the patient to attempt to keep up with any situation and opponent they face. The system is resistant to electrical damage by taping into the greatest power plant, the patients Heart and Brain. The body is still susceptible to electricity but as long as the patient is alive, so are the implants and any added product, with the added power supply and control from the "Mother Control System". The nerve clusters and valves of the heart generate the needed energy to power the parts and release the contents of the canisters by feeding the fluids into the bloodstream.

Effective longevity of product:
Two years (Canisters)- can be replaced
Fifteen years (Fiber Optic Tunes)- requires total replacement. Not recommended.

*Possible Minor Side Effects include: (Unknown Causes)
Abnormal or decreased touch sensation
arm, back, or jaw pain
bleeding, blistering, burning, coldness, discoloration of the skin, feeling of pressure, hives, infection, inflammation, itching, lumps, numbness, pain, rash, redness, scarring, soreness, stinging, swelling, tenderness, tingling, ulceration, or warmth at the injection site
blurred vision
chest pain or discomfort
chest tightness or heaviness
dizziness
fainting
fast, irregular, pounding, or racing heartbeat or pulse
fear or nervousness
headache
nausea or vomiting
paleness of the skin
pounding in the ears
restlessness
shakiness in the legs, arms, hands, or feet
slow or fast heartbeat
stroke
sweating
trembling or shaking of the hands or feet
troubled breathing
unusual tiredness or weakness

**Symptoms if Possible Overdose Occurs:
Agitation
coldness of the skin
coma
confusion
decreased urine output
depression
drowsiness
hostility
irritability
lethargy
lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting
muscle twitching
pounding, slow heartbeat
rapid weight gain
rapid, deep breathing
seizures
stomach cramps
stupor
swelling of the face, ankles, or hands

Approval Without Development Thread

• N/A (I can't think of anything that could be acceptable without one, sorry.)

Approval With Development Thread

• 20 Post Development thread on the design and production of the implant including both functions

OR

• 10 post development thread on the design and production of the implant highlighting one of the functions
• Remove the other remaining function.

Suggestions

• Almost anything that increases the performance of its user will require a development thread, such as a power suit or this type of implant, so for future reference it is always a good idea to just go ahead and make one for these types of submissions before submission (or mention one is being worked on) to expedite the process of approval.

Can I have a status on your development thread?

 

[Ellie Mors]

Thank you for updating this, pending secondary.

A few things that concern me:

• Being electrocuted would throw the heart off from its own electrical cycle, thus causing heart failure.
• Using the heart and the brain to fuel something like this alone would increase fatigue and put permanent damage to both organs.
• Also the increase in adrenaline would also have side effects of addiction. Because I'm assuming this is synthesized adrenaline which is epinephrine I'd take a look at this.
• A lot of these effects also fall in with the other chemcials you're having this implant inject into the body.

Suggestions:

• Figure out some way to help protect the heart and brain.
• List all the issues (health related) that come form using the device
• Figure out some way to help protect the body from the side effects that are listened from the chemical cocktail you're injecting into the body.

Comments:

I forsee a lot of issues with this implant not only for the user but for people going against it in a pvp sense. Increase in cognition and such is great, but there needs to be a fall out especially when using this implant. Its comparable (in my opinion) to performance enhancing drugs. Makes you faster/better, but you still need to perform the action and there are some heavy side effects.

Heart failure is never guarrunteed from electrocution. I've taken a few too many jolts in my time and my heart skipped yes, but the irregularity goes away almost instantly. It's takes a lot to permanently interrupt the hearts rythym.

The adrenaline is actual adrenaline. Each capsule contains the necessary doses of adrenaline.

The side effects of adrenaline seem to be reported as few and far between. I can put a disclaimer* on the possible side effects. Also, upon further reading, addiction occurs when used in larger than prescribed dosage. The adrenaline is only used to open the blood vessels to pump the other chemicals more freely.

This cocktail is also associated (IRL study) with curing schizophrenia patients. Increases cognizant recollections, accuracy and performance.

"Psychotomimetic doses of amphetamine, dizocilpine maleate (MK801), and (+/-)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine hydrochloride (DOI) were tested for disruption of accuracy, and cognitive-enhancing doses of amphetamine, nicotine, and (+/-)-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(1H)-3-benzazepine-7,8-diol hydrochloride (SKF38393 hydrochloride) were examined for improvements in performance."

WIth that you know that their brain is different from someone who has the normal balance of chemicals and hormones in their brain. So the effects would be positive but still detrimental to the mind from prolonged use.

Heart failure is never guaranteed from electrocution. I've taken a few too many jolts in my time and my heart skipped yes, but the irregularity goes away almost instantly. It's takes a lot to permanently interrupt the hearts rythym.

I completely agree with this, but imagine getting shocked by someone using force lightning.

The adrenaline is actual adrenaline. Each capsule contains the necessary doses of adrenaline.

So the device is enhancing the body's natural creation of adrenaline? If its contained its either harvested from people or its synthesized.


My note was mostly to have you add in the negative effects. The device sounded too good to be true [member="Nyos Val"]


Also thanks for the added info Its approved, but do remember if its abused/reported we will need to revisit it.
