This is a horrible misapplication of concept of evidence.
The fact that brain damage results in mental changes is not evidence of the interlinkage of the two? Am I reading you right?
Two possibilities: either the brain is the TV station and sends signal, or the brain is the TV and receives the signal from the station.
