I think we may not be disagreeing much…

Agree fMRI doesn’t tell us for sure what information is in electrical activity. I only mean to imply it’s suggestive.

But we still can get a lot of information from electrodes. Do words count as thoughts? I’d say so.

Definitely don’t think electrical signals are all there is to thought.

They’re definitely part of it, but I think time will show unlike with computer parts, it’s hard to make clean separation of responsibilities in the brain.
