We actually can and do have a way to investigate brain activity in humans. Allow me to introduce you to the Electroencephalogram.
When there’s no activity we declare them brain dead.
On an electroencephalogram we basically see signals moving around in different brain regions. We have no way to probe actual thought or consciousness in themselves.
