According to Ken Wilber, consciousness is the having of perceptions, thoughts, and feelings; awareness. Scientists want to find an activity that has a neural correlate that is part of the brain or some kind of global pattern of brain activity. If found, there should be a predictive of conscious awareness and would be demonstrated with brain imaging techniques, such as EEG and fMRI. For TMers the most thorough account of the spiritual approach may be Wilber's book The Spectrum of Consciousness. Wilber compares western and eastern ways of thinking about the mind and consciousness. According to Wilber, consciousness is a spectrum. Ordinary awareness is at one end, and more profound types of awareness are found at higher levels.
