Talk:Cyberbrain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Someone should write a one-line introduction to this article, something to the effect that "This article is about a fictional technology." (I'd do this, but I'm not familiar with this particular set of literature.) --Keeves 21:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Kunzite recently added Template:fiction despite my having modified the opening along the lines of Keeves suggestion. If there are no suggestions of what further to change to satisfy Kunzite's discomfort, I'll remove the 'fiction' template in a couple of days. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Needs to cite episodes. When something happens, say, this happend in episode blah blah, etc. See WP:WAF. -- Ned Scott 01:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not just episodes. It really needs to cite a secondary or tertiary source. Primary sources are great, but... using only primary sources is Original Research. I personally think this still needs to either be merged somewhere else or deleted. --Kunzite 01:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- What? Citing only primary sources is in no way "original research". We want to cite primary sources and not secondary ones in as many cases as possible. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 13:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Links...
Does anyone know of any links that lead to sites where the concept of a Cyberbrain is discussed in practical terms.
It would be a good thing for this article to contain a kind of "yeah this is fictional, but here are some people trying to make it happen" section.
What precisely is a Braincase in reference to the Cyberbrain? It's been referenced in a few episodes, and it's obviously the "brain in a jar", but I'm not sure of the exact properties.
Is it self suffcient and safely removeable from a prosthetic body or is it dependant on certain functions of it's host body. Is it a whole cyber-brain, or just the brain plus connections for integration with the cybernetics?--82.41.82.183 22:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
The person still has their real, living brain. How else would they contract a sclerosis of the brain tissue? Following logically from that, if they still have an organic brain, they obviously still need a blood supply to keep it alive. The term "cyberbrain" refers to a series of brain implants that enhance the functioning of the user's brain. "Cyberbrain" also refers to the entire device (Brian + Implants) as a whole. Android brains are also called "Cyberbrains", but they don't actually have any organic tissue, just mechanical brains.PiccoloNamek 12:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
