Implant could maybe be "Lingand Inter-Neural Connection" or "LINC"
Ligand basically means "chemical." Anything with such a nuanced interface with the brain is going to make use of your body's natural means of communication and not just electrocute your crap. IMO.
Also, looking at things like:

Makes me wonder how a direct neural implant would manage to cover all the right areas.
I'm thinking of something like a "neural net" or the like that had several linked nodes around these areas, each with a thin membrane over those areas that slipped into the gaps of the cortex, running deep enough to interact with the deeper areas of the brain. This method is probably better than the next because it simply gives your brains stimuli to interpret as opposed to interpreting stimuli for your brain.
Another option would be to actual house a larger, more dangerous implant in the white matter of the brain, deep to the cortex. If this was the case, you'd need 2 of these implants in each hemisphere, and possibly a bridge through the corpus colosum but not necessarily. The issue with this is obviously that you'll be replacing nature's most efficient and complicated super computer with man-made supercomputer that is then interfering with those signals as opposed to just interpreting external stimuli.
The LINC would then have a plug near the rear that would allow you to jack in to it externally.
The chair could then just be called a "LINC Jack" or a "Jack" or something.
JUST IMO, GUYS, ITS ALL IMO. IMO EVERYWHERE.
