That's like asking what's more important in a processor - the logic gates, or the wiring between them? Without either, you have no processor anymore. Even assuming male and female brain are achitectured differently, it's not enough to conclude one is better than the other for any given task. Besides, I assume they're talking about frontal lobes, where most of the thinking process occurs. Nervgear probably scans another part of the brain, responsible for motion.

Now if the NerveGear intercepts signals and manipulates signals from the brain, where do these signals originate from? My guess is when they fire from the synapses across the white mater (I have no idea at all about brain matter xD)
We're talking about fictitious technology relating to a subject neither of us are experts in. Sure, whatever, Nervgear works better on females. But not because of gray or white matter. It's because the brain leprechauns of girls get more practice texting on their teeny smartphones.
