Line 79:
** The people in "The Long Game" have ports in their heads to input information and process it. Adam, a temporary companion, gets one himself, which is why The Doctor throws him out of the TARDIS.
** "The Talons of Weng Chiang" gives us the Peking Homunculus, which is powered by the brain of a pig. A particularly ''vicious'' pig.
* The much-reviled episode "[[Star Trek: The Original Series/Recap/S3/E01 Spock's Brain|Spock's Brain]]" of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''.
** ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise]]'' had a space station that stole brains to keep itself running.
** ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' has neural gel-packs to assist in certain computer functions that require that organic touch.
* In ''[[Andromeda]]'' the Consensus of Parts used human neural matter to satisfy the requirement for organic intuition to navigate the [[Subspace or Hyperspace|Slipstream]].
* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', the Shadow starships all used captured lesser races members as pilots fused with the hull.
* ''[[Lexx]]''{{'}}s 790-model cyborgs consist of robotic heads attached to the decapitated bodies of executed convicts. A small cube of human brain tissue is used to give the drone its higher functions, such as the capacity for a (rudimentary) personality.
* In ''[[Dollhouse]]'' {{spoiler|people sent to "the Attic" have their brains networked to make Rossum's supercomputer.}}
* The Cyberax arc of ''[[Bugs]]'' was basically [[The Matrix]], only without the need for it as the wetware is clinically dead.
