What is consciousness?

Ok, so I am my brain. The body that my brain inhabits isn't necessarily me, it's just what supplies everything that my brain needs to continue being alive. However, scientific analysis of the brains processes have proven insufficient to explain consciousness, and yet at the same time we know the brain must in some way be related to consciousness since if I damage apart of my brain that's going to effect my awareness in some way shape or form. Does this imply that dual aspect monism is true? That consciousness is simply an "immaterial" aspect to the material part of the brain?
