This is an interesting solution to the mind-body problem but not one I subscribe to. Firstly, there is no way to scientifically propose a way that brains "give rise to consciousness"; we can only note the correlation between the two and speculate. Secondly, a material mechanism to account for the bran itself is lacking (Francis Crick himself postulating that extraterrestrial life seeded earth with life). And thirdly, I think attempts to rescue this view from depressing nihilism fail.
Well, that also goes for everything really. David Hume noted that nothing can be really understood as a cause of something, it all amounts to inductive logic (past events cannot 100% predict future events). An account for the brain is not lacking at all, however we do not fullly understand it yet.
