A Waferjack (also called a Neural Jack or Data Jack) is a brain-computer interface, establishing a direct electronic contact between the organic sophont brain and external electronic equipment. It allows the brain to receive and decode electronic data as well as transmit commands directly to linked equipment.
The TL–9 version is a simple interface to external computer equipment, adding another interface for computer interaction. With ability to implant computers at TL–12, the neural jacks allow the internal computer and brain to directly access external equipment. At TL–13, with the development of Wafertech, the Waferjack allows direct access to the information contained on a Wafer.
