Mózgoczel

Mózgoczel is a term commonly used in speculative fiction to describe a hypothetical neural-ocular interface that directly links the brain to the visual system, producing an integrated perception that combines natural sight with enhanced neural processing. The name blends Polish roots mózg (brain) and oko (eye), signaling a brain-eye fusion.

In stories and games, Mózgoczel can denote either a biological organ that develops abnormally or a cybernetic implant that connects to the visual cortex. This interface is often depicted as enabling higher spatial resolution, an expanded field of view, real-time data overlay, and sometimes altered perception such as synesthesia or modified time perception.

The concept is used to explore themes of autonomy, identity, and privacy when perception is mediated by machinery or biological modification. It also serves as a narrative device to examine the consequences of dependence on artificial sensory systems, including issues of malfunction, hacking, and dependency.

There is no real medical term Mózgoczel; real advances involve brain-computer interfaces and visual prostheses rather than a single organ. The term remains fictional and is primarily of interest in world-building, science fiction scholarship, and media analysis.
