It's not clear that this tool proves or even suggests anything at all about the relationship of mind and body. At best it indicates something about how our "sensorium" operates, but many philosophers would be seriously hesitant to equate our sensory awareness of our spatial surroundings with the mind. After all, animals have such a sensorium, but it's debatable whether they have mind in the sense(s) that philosophers, mystics, zen masters, or poets mean it.
