While I agree that the brain, and it's changes, show a correlation in the quality of consciousness I have seen; it really does not say anything other than the fact that the brain is a major function in the ability of consciousness to express itself. It's really an odd situation, as we are trying to observe (and gain evidence/data) the very thing that allows us to observe.
In your post you touch on something really important.
"..the brain's function is to express consciousness..." this would imply that the brain is not the seed of consciousness, but merely another organ collecting and churning data and responding accordingly, and consciousness a factor moderating or mediating (have not worked out which would make most sense, they are very different) the behavioural output of the brain.
Interesting...
