A '''bionic prosthetic''' is an bio-electronic implant designed to emulate and/or replace the function of the damaged/destroyed organ or limb. Some species (such as the [[Borg]]) made use of bio-electric devices to assist, specialize in a certain area, or completely replace an organ or limb whether it was damaged or not.

Galaxy class cybernetics

The Cybernetics Lab aboard a Galaxy-class starship

Cybernetics is the study of hugely complex artificial intelligence systems, usually running on a positronic matrix and often housed inside robotic machine technology. A practical implementation of this is an android. The scientists who study in this field are known as cyberneticists.
