Well, everyone agrees that the brain acts as a kind of radio: its antennas are the senses and the music is the stream of qualia. Or something like that. Language is also a big part of consciousness, and that's not internal to the brain—it's social. So it's kind of unclear what it means to talk about the "source" of consciousness. Most often I see the radio metaphor invoked in a vaguely mystical way, where the signal of consciousness is supposed to emanate from some totally unknown background source that nobody has any idea at all what it might be, except some people choose to call it "God." All that stuff is totally non-scientific until someone comes up with a clear hypothesis.
