Hi
Overview
Neural Implants, also known as Brain-Computer Interfaces, are a form of advanced biotechnology that emerged during the latter 21st century. They are designed to be utilise a communication link between the brain's electrical activity and itself, most commonly a external computer or prosthetic (Though they are capable of human to human links most of the time).
Neural Implants are often created for the purposes for substitional, research and cosmetic purposes along with the treatment of neurological diseases. They range from being non-invasive to invasive depending on the level of surgery required to install them.
The first "True" Neural Implants are generally considered to either be Elon Musk's Neuralink program or American company Neurotech's device though there are older proto-implants that, while not providing advanced features and cross-compatibility usually provided a non-superficial connection to the device for the user.
History

Regulation
The proliferation of Neural Implants in the 22nd century saw many governments regulating their usage or sometimes banning them due to risk factors or dogma.
United Nations
Most member states of the United Nations currently endorse noninvasive and invasive Neural Implants but prohibit "mind altering surgical modification" (colloquially known as Nerve Stapling) due to human rights absuses and the legal greyness of said procedures. Full body replacement is also tightly regulated due to body dysmorphia rates in operatees being incredibly high.
It is alleged that the United Nations deployed Neural Interfaces for Military applications, however this has since changed due to incidents of intel breaches from advanced interragation of prisoners of war.
Martian Republic
The Martian Republic officially follows the Universal Decleration of Human rights as does the United Nations, their laws tend to follow the UN standard but are much more strict on strictly cosmetic limb and organ replacements. Parties like the Martian Planetary Congress are much more conservative usually mandating a strict ban on anything other than brain-device utility plugs.
Jovian Commonwealth
The Jovian Commonwealth is decentralised with each major moon following different laws.
Europa
Europa does not have a official stance on body modification, its pragpmatic survivalist culture places great dogma on cosmetic modification though it is perfectly legal in most major polites of Europa.
Ganymede
Ganymede tends to be very lax on their laws, under the reigeme of the Progressives for multiple years, bodily freedom is a policy that is held tightly on Ganymede. The ability to legally get a full body replacement and other various implants tends to be readily available for the general public with a strong body modification culture fostering in major cities.
Callisto
Callisto is the most conservative out of all JC moons with the increasing populatrity of the reanchivist CEXIT (Callisto-Exit) movement has saw the pursecution and discrimination along with the illegalisation of Neural Implants and general modifications. This has spurred on a great exodius following the Jovian War with many implantees fleeing to Ganymede and other friendlier internal republics.
Examples
Honestly I really gotta build this out, but its most likely going to be things ranging from functioning catears to the arm tank cannon 5000.
