Well technically it's all in the mind, since actions in SAO and ALO are done in the mind only. But to open up menus and click buttons you still need to think/perform the gesture in your mind which the NerverGear/Amusphere reflects in the action being performed in game. But now thinking about it, one could argue that making gestures uses the motor control part of your brain that the NerverGear intercepts and on the other side thinking only without involving motor control uses other parts of your brain. But we don't know specifically which parts of your brain the NerverGear is able to intercept.

Even Kirito had to ask Yui for the instructions, on how to bring up the controller with a gesture, and don't even mention advanced flight.
