His argument is that the brain "channels" consciousness, which "exists out there", rather than "generates" consciousness.

The latter is the the mainstream view in neuroscience and analytic philosophy of mind.

The former isn't a new idea, but it is a minority one. Panpsychists like Philip Goff argues for it, William James floated something like it in the 1890s, etc.
