Yeah you are right, now we just need to wait till someone invents some sort of high resolution eeg or mri technology.
They should invent an fMRI machine that doesn't register brain activity in a dead salmon first. They could invent one that can pick up activity at the yet to be invented super-duper Fiber-Theory scale of matter and it still wouldn't tell you a thing about what is going on in someone's mind without them telling you about it. Minds are experienced, not observed externally. That is unless you want to concede the possibility of psychic perception, which you clearly will never do. And even that would require verification from the person whose mind was being sympathetically experienced.
I've stopped being surprised at how superstitious some people can be about science. It generates its own species of magical thinking, as a reader at my blog pointed out recently. Especially among atheists who claim to not believe in magic.
