Developed from tech level 12 Psionic Helmet theory, the neural activity sensor (NAS) was first used medically. It remotely detects the electrical activity of a life form’s central nervous system and classifies it according to amount and complexity. The data system compares the activity pattern to known types of life, especially intelligent life.

The portable unit has a range of 500 meters (very long). It consists of a backpack and a handset with a retractable parabolic dish focuser. The handset in fact is not attached to the backpack, and it can be operated up to 100 m distant, which further extends the range.
