Think of what difference is there between "referring directly" to the outside reality and "referring directly" to the brain. Not much, methinks. There is no homunculus whose hands are only so long to reach the brain, but not long enough to touch your nose.
Agreed, as the brain is a physical object. Referring "directly" to subjective experiences is a different story though.
