Our definitional model of consciousness states that consciousness cannot be explicitly measured, however is biologically rooted and dependent on the brain.

In this way consciousness is a social construction that is rooted in, and dependent on, cultural grounding and context (Lutz 1992, Sandstrom 2010). This ‘awareness of awareness’ is…
