Neural Feedback

The Neural Feedback is a genetic modification to the brain for countering psionic attack.

Overview
Analysis of the Sectoid Commander's brain structure revealed incredibly powerful neurons with rapid transmission rates, raising its mental abilities far beyond that of a normal Sectoid. While this cannot be fully replicated in humans, specific parts of the neural structure can be recreated.

This particular gene mod creates a neural circuit within the existing pathways of the brain, consisting of the same high-speed neurons found in the Sectoid Commander. When tripped by a psionic attack the circuit activates, briefly activating parts of the brain responsible for psionic abilities, while it cannot cause full activation of psionic abilities, the circuit can generate a short-lived psionic pulse. This pseudo-psionic pulse scrambles the psionic components of the attacking enemy, damaging the neural tissue and the enemy's psionic ability.
