Hacking the brain?
The researchers basically designed a program that flashes up pictures of maps, banks, and card PINs, and makes a note every time your brain experiences a P300. Afterwards, it’s easy to pore through the data and work out — with fairly good accuracy — where a person banks, where they live, and so on.
Ok, interesting. I'm glad you clarified this.
There's a article about using MRI to monitor blood flow in the brain to control a robot. So they could walk about move their arms, visual feedback was provided. The operator reported the subjective experience of being the robot at this separate location.
The brain can be fooled into a "remote from the body" subjective experience.
We can examine the physiology of the brain all we want, but what is it that actually accounts for the subjective experience.
Brainwaves are interesting but not a real answer for this.

You cannot perceive my subjectivity, not unless you believe you have the capacity to perform some kind of "Vulcan mind meld."
