In the fictional Battle Tech universe, a neurohelmet is a helmet-like device which the pilot of a battlemech wears in order to provide fine control of balance, as well as containing a display. The primary function off the neurohelmet is to provide balance information to the battlemech, allowing relatively smooth walking movement, and some degree of recovery in cases of loss of footing. Functionally, this system is attuned to a small number of people (though usually only the primary pilot and his/her assigned technician) and has the ability to identify certain patterns in their brain waves. This allows the neurohelmet to recognize the pilot's reaction to poor balance situations and take automatic action accordingly.
