no, in that case they can not witness thoughts, they witness the things representing thoughts. Maybe they'll be able to read off the thoughts from the brain signals, which does not mean the thoughts
are the brain signals. Just like I can read off the concept of the number one from the numeral '1', but they're not the same.
Another example: music is a phenomenon that is physically made up of sound waves, but music
is not those sound waves. Conceptually it's more than that. That doesn't mean there's a mystical music ghost living in the sound waves
