If by "detect," you mean experience something subjectively, and draw inferences based on a collection of ideas (more experiences) which serve as your world view, then okay. Or if by "mind," you mean to conflate mind with neural correlates, and pretend that you haven't just begged the question, then okay.
But go ahead-- feel free to tell me by what empirical means you will detect whether any particular given material system is capable of experiencing itself and its environment subjectively. Pull out your Mind-O-Meter 2000 and do a little demonstration for us.
