It DOES that, right? It's the whole plot point of not being able to log out by yourself by taking the blasted helmet off.
By intercepting signals. Please actually read what I'm saying. I'm only talking about one function at a time.

Output: The Nerve Gear reads the motor signals coming out of the brain, stops them from reaching their destination, and uses those signals to control the avatar in the virtual world.

Input: The Nerve Gear stops all sense signals from reaching the brain. It completely ignores what those signals actually are, it just blinds you to create a blank canvas. It then uses the data stored on the SAO server to create artificial sense signals that it sends to the brain. If it didn't blind you it could still show you images, but they'd be overlaid on top of what you're actually seeing.
