The Bijani are a humanoid race that had been encountered by the United Federation of Planets during the 24th Century. The Bijani were capable of entering into a healing trance when exposed to severe pain in order to protect themselves. Lieutenant Coris Sprint of the USS Righteous was a Bijani.

Description from Star Trek: Borg Edit

Bijani, humanoid. Planet of origin: Bijan.

After the destruction of Bijan by a planetary cataclysm, the Bijani became a nomadic space culture for nearly two millenia, until the discovery of Bijan II. For the past 300 years the Bijani have remade the barren Bijan II into a near replica of their original home.

The Bijani posses a unique psycho-physical response, sometimes referred to as a Bijani pain transe. In the face of great pain or trauma, a Bijani compartmentalizes his mental patterns, storing most of his higher consciousness in a protected area of the Bijani brain, called the Langstrom cortex. During a period of crisis, this phonomena allows a Bijani to complete a complex physical task free from the awareness of pain or fear - and unencumbered by their so-called consciousness. The Bijani pain trance is generally induced by a natural production of adrenalin in response to some physical trauma. This condition may be prevented or reversed by the introduction of an adrenalin block in the Bijani's system.
