I find this an odd thing to say is biased. By this qualifier would you not say it is then biased to suggest consciousness is not generated by the brain? I mean at this point its mostly philosophical discussions about consciousness, however we are getting further into our understanding of our brains and so far everything lends itself to the brain being the source of what we term consciousness.
Science philosopher Dan Dennett made a great little ted talks on this subject, give it a go if your interested.
