Yes it would, but the NerveGear doesn’t necessarily intercept all transmissions from the brain. According to Kirito in Volume 1 on page 11 in the English translation the NerveGear “intercepted and collected the brain’s commands to the body”. This sounds to me like the NerveGear is designed to only intercept “conscious signals” from the brain, “subconscious signals” like breathing and heart beat would therefore be allowed through. Of course this is only my interpretation of a translation, can anyone back this up with a Japanese copy?
