Thanks for the question.
Of course, It's not scanning directly to the hardware.
Pensabot Test is to androids (with hands, legs, head, behaviour, ...) Mind structure is human mimetic (neuroengineering design)
It considers an interface that allows to translate signals from a robot brain source to human brain scanner component. This component is a data adquisition and data record software to see on the scanner-screen a visual representation of an artificial brain, like human brain but more simple (for the moment). For example, superimposed signals on an MRI image facilitates comparison.
However... How to scan consciousness?
There is a research to identify common patterns of signals that represent an object on which evoked a human mind is thinking, not only visual patterns.

The signals of a same object are generated in several regions of the brain. Therefore, it is necessary to continue defining a common parts of logic layers of thought translation. So, some objects belongs to own body.
The application of this technique to the autism research (absence of "internal mirror") will help to understand consciousness.
The Mirror Test with androids can help to evoke thought about own existence.
