Synaptic Impairment is what a runner suffers from after having a major shock to the runner's body.

Synaptic impairment is frequently abbreviated to SI by runners.

Effects

When a runner suffers from Synaptic impairment, all the runner's skills are reduced by the % amount of Synaptic impairment. So if you have 100 in rifle combat, and you have 10% Synaptic impairment, your rifle combat is only 90.

The reduced skills will effet the runner's ability to use equipment, even to a point that he may not be able to use an item.

Runners can get rid of synaptic impairment, by waiting a short amount of time, which wears off at a rate of 2% every 15 seconds.

You can get synaptic impairment in the following ways. The amount of synaptic impairment varies.

• Being killed and having to Genrep (42% SI)
• Genrepping to a location (19% SI). However there is an exception to this rule. If your clan owns the op, you do not get any synaptic impairment
• If you are a droner, and your drone is destroyed, you got a small amount of Synaptic Impairment. (4% SI)

The effects of synaptic impairment can stack up to a maximum of 100%
