I am interested in consciousness, generally, and am aware that there are collective aspects of consciousness, and that it does not originate from the brain, because single celled creatures have some form of consciousness.

"...we propose that consciousness is an intrinsic property of magnetic fields."

This is not a scientific claim because it is easily falsified. Various creatures that demonstrably have consciousness do not have magnetic properties, magnetic fields, at all.

Scientism is not science.
