Lobot

 Background
  Lando Calrissian's silent human aide, Lobot, has a brain-enhancing device hooked around his skull. His name is based on the word "lobotomy," which is a surgical precedure of making an incision of the brain.

The technique was originally used to treat mental disorders, since the procedure common caused significant personality changes in treated patients. Because of advances in science, other forms of treatment are currently almost always favored over lobotomies.
