--- Quote from: BenRG on 24 Sep 2017, 05:53 ---Another possibility that occurs to me: Emily has silicon pathways in her brain. Specifically, she had an experimental procedure with a neural network array being implanted into her skull, augmenting most of her brain processes, in an attempt to cure her non-neuronormative traits. The procedure didn't work but it left her with a high level of intuitive understanding for AIs and digital logic. Additionally, because the implanted array helps her process sensory data (in an attempt to help her have perceptions of the universe that are more mainstream), she tends to experience 'echos' of how AIs would interpret some sensory data. It also lets her process sensory data to help her do things like mimic dog whistles with her voice.
She isn't a 'cyborg' in the complete sense of the word. She's an electronically-augmented human. However, in the event she may have a serious accident, the neural net could act as a foundation stone upon which broader and more overt prosthesis could be connected up directly to her brain.
I think that this suggestion is a bit dark for Jeph in QC but it it another valid interpretation of the evidence as presented to date.

What possible neurological disorder would they be trying to treat with such an invasive procedure?
