"They might even unravel the greatest mystery of them all: consciousness."
Don't get me wrong. Brains are interesting. Consciousness is a real puzzler. But... the mass of the known universe is estimated to be about 10^53 kg. In all that mass, there might be a few other mysteries here and there. Believing that the "greatest mystery" is between our two ears feels a tad bit egoistical.
