These signals can be recorded (that is how the Japanese wheelchair works). The user thinks "right" and the wheelchair moves right.
First person thought is primary fact of existence, in the current scientific framework the relation between electrical impulses and first person thought is speculative. If you claim to have solved the mind-body problem, please provide the evidence for it.
The relation between electrical impulses and third person representation of brain activity in no way qualifies as evidence for the relation between electrical impulse and first person experience.
