In Ghost In The Shell and Man Machine Interface (more man machine) There are numerous references to "E-Brains" (Electronic Brains) and the verious types and complexaties of them. And Being that Shadowrun (or man machine/ GitS depending on what why you look at it) has some simulites. I was wondering what would consitute for an "E-Brain" in shadowrun?

Datajack, The simplest form of E-Brain, allows you to control things Via DNI.

Others thing that would be "in" an E-Brain would be, Encephalon, Math SPU. Tactical Computer? and VCR's would they make up part of an E-Brain, how about Crainal Cyberdecks.

See Motoko Kusanagi has what appears to be a VERY advanced E-brain. She does some computer hacking indicating a Crainal Cyberdeck, She "rigs" Clarice M, thus indicating a VCR. Now she also "Ghost hacks" (read effects people with Psychotropic Black IC). Also there are mentions of her commenting on a fight she just had say "they were running the same combat software as me but without the ability to improvise" (or something close) indicating that she's running chipped skills (with ECD?).

She also calculates speed and trajectory of a fly dataline so she can catch it (with her foot).

I estimate it will pass over our ship and land in the sea 30 meters away.
Time to cross our Midline...7 seconds. Shall we shoot it down?

Closing at only 193KPH? forget it No Prob!


Though techincally Electronic, A Cerebral Boosters would be involved no?

What im asking is, What would be needed to have an "E-Brain" In the full sense.

Anyway thoughts and opinions of people more quilified then me would be great.
