Are you going to end this merry-go-round and retract your claim now or at least admit that it has no scientific backing and is a faith based (not religious) claim?
I won't retract my statement. I'm thinking about ice cream right now. I don't know how my brain is processing this, but I know I am now thinking about ice cream. The article says that we do not know how the impulses get translated into thought, not that the impulses do not get translated into thought. I'm really not a 100% sure (or even 10%) where you intend to go with this.
Then admit it is based on faith much like a theist who is sure god exists because he has subjective experience.

No you didn't and it is arrogant to think you did.
