You can try by combining neurophysiological, neurochemical and periphery physiological measures.

Or instead, you can just ask the subject/patient.

Consciousness is the ability to form meta-representations. It allows us to see ourselves as a distinct agent in an environment.

I don't see it being localized in any special brain region.

Even a score of 300 is "possible". This does not mean that it would be accurate. Or meaningful.
You saying it's "possible" is completely redundant.

Also nice ad hominem. All out of arguments, are we?

He was also against standardised tests (for diagnosis) and against outcome measurements. He didn't even want to know if his "therapy" had any effect at all. He must have been REALLY confident there, right?

I have it right in front of me in my lecture papers. What I posted above is the list of sources. It's somewhere in there. I won't bother to actually sort through all of it, because in the end none of you will even bother reading it. And yes, unlike most of you here I actually study psychology.

It's hilarious that you guys actually think you would have more knowledge in this field than I do.

Your LED example only manipulates OUTPUT. Consciousness is the ability to form metarepresentations of the representations you get from perception (actual input).
Also, people are not simply able to just "activate" a part of their brain at will. So your LED example sucks.

>exactly replicate a part of the brain
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! no...

I think the brain isn't modifiable because it basically is just a complex input calculator. The brain takes perception from your sensory systems (representation of the real world) and abstracts them to metarepresentations. You can't add new perceptual fields. The brain isn't "wired" that way.

I'll read up on that some time. Thanks.
