Being of scientific mind, I keep in mind that scientific discoveries existed the whole time until they were discovered as well.
The research on what we can see and learn in the brain is remarkable in the last 10 years. fMRI alone is staggering.
Your question seems to be one of enough resolution. The brain continues to get more attention in greater and greater resolution.
There seems to me more research in the area which is encouraging too.
I don't get the feeling your'e really interested in it other than looking at where the research is occurring and building from where and how you want to see it. Time will tell either way.
There's nothing necessarily interesting about quantum effects in the brain. Hard drives and other parts of a computer use quantum effects too, but it doesn't make them quantum computers.
Penrose is just another person who thinks "quantum" means "magic".
