For thousands of years people didn't even know that the brain had anything to do with thinking, the ancient Egyptian's carefully preserved every part of the body EXCEPT for the brain which they just threw away. If consciousness can even be said to occupy a place in space, and I don't think it can, then it would be the place you were thinking about, not the place where 3 pounds of gray Jell-O is located.
