Senceiver implant

A Senceiver Implant was a device that was implanted in some Federation Starfleet officers. These officers were usually of command rank or higher, and the implants allowed these officers to receive emergency messages from command inside their own minds.

These implants were rarely used. For example, James T. Kirk only received two messages via his senceiver implant the entire time he had the implant. The second one was to warn of the approach ofof the V'Ger entity.

Starfleet kept the existence of these implants highly secret. They feared that public knowledge of the devices would lead the public to conclude that Starfleet was implanting mind control devices inside individuals. (
