The following device, known as the neural band, saw usage in the time following the Great Sith War; it was a cyborg-like apparatus that encircled the user's head. Its creation stemmed from the need to counter the influence of Sith and Jedi who employed the Force to control soldiers and security forces. By strengthening synapses and creating alternative pathways for electrical signals in the brain, the neural band made it challenging to influence the wearer's thoughts. It was commonly referred to as 'Little Shocky' by soldiers of the Old Republic.
Due to its effectiveness during the Jedi Civil War, the neural band saw action even millennia later, during the battles of Ruusan.
