Agreed, consciousness need to exist for any subjective experience. Otherwise subjective experience doesn't exist as well, thus rendering any thoughts obsolete.
I think the real problem with science in brain research is that they lack ability to dig in individual, subjective incidents. Subjectivity means it is fixed on one individual, especially likely at fixed time and space. In this setting, it is simply impossible to find any correlations between pattern and concept via induction - or whatever method you'd call for, nothing would work since you won't be able to know what pattern to look at. At least two experiences in same settings should exist to compare, but that's impossible.
So ya, materialism could simply denounce ability of science.

What is objective is that perception is subjective. Without materialism there would be no science though. As we must measure in order to have a gamut, which materialism cannot function without quantitative values. As if you have 0 there is no material.
Edit switched the words materialism and science
