The fact that non-materialistic theories of mind are not falsifiable does not imply that materialistic theories of mind are.
Materialistic theories are generally falsifiable (at least in principle) because "matter" is defined to be something we have shared experience of. So it provides a shared basis for experiment. The difficulty with testing theories of consciousness is that we can only agree on perceived behavior, e.g. Turing tests.
