Except that’s literally not how humans are wired or develop - even nerve paths and other fine grained details in our bodies show significant divergence, and there are major macro level differences readily apparent even based on gender, color blindness, etc.
Honestly, it would be shocking if it were even a little true beyond ‘frontal cortex’ levels of granularity. And even then, Phineas Gage type situations make it clear that may not actually be required either.
And that means completely different individual activity can trigger similar subjective experiences as much as similar activity can trigger different subjective experiences, no?
If that were the case then there's no way that they'd be able to extract images from people's neural activity, and yet they've started doing that very thing.
Occasionally, after training on specific individuals, for those specific individuals.
