As for the neurological point of view, are you even sure it is correct?
LARGE chunks of the brain have been replaced by various parts of
cyberware. Look at a full head implant cyberdeck. It IS actual FASA
stuff, and it takes up buku space. Also, all parts of the body virtually
can be replaced, augmented, etc and all of the innervations can be
replaced. Look at the synaptic accelerators and the like. I'm NOT
saying the entire brain can be replaced. I am simply saying sonar is not
that big of a modification. Sonar isn't much different from radar
really, only thru a different medium, water as opposed to air. Look at a
fuzzbuster or even the new fuzzbuster/jammers. They are capable of
sending and receiving, and they are small now. Put in the various grades
of components and better tech available in SR, and it becomes even more
miniaturized. The brain doesn't have to process the signals, merely the
unit. It then would link and give the final results, much like head
decks, chipjacks for data chips which must be read and such, etc, etc.
The brain merely must accept the bottomline that the unit feeds it.
