The brain is extremely powerful and complex, and there are still many things we don't understand. What everybody does with his/her brain is another story.
Sure the brain is complex but I don't think is that mysterious. If anything the structure and the way it works suggests that it is very primitive and that can be easily palpated. For example our memories in time become one with our dreams. 90% of what we remember is mostly fake.
We rather want to believe that our brain is amazing because we think that we perceive so much.

I see the point. Then I may agree. I was not thinking in terms of perception.
Note that you actually introduced my user in your answer :)
not primitive at all.
