What has been the impact of 'Visual Image Reconstruction from Human Brain Activity' (via MRI) on modern Cartesian Dualism theories such as Fundamental property and Emergent dualism?

It would seem that researcher's ability to literally extract images from a person's brain activity would push the argument to support Physicalist theories over Dualism?
What types of counter-points have been proposed to refute this kind of evidence?

A few sources for information regarding visual reconstruction via MRI are : http://www.cell.com/neuron/abstract/S0896-6273(08)00958-6 (Paper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR0qJ17Rsvc (Video)
