As I said, she doesn't see any value in the TM Pure Consciousness research so 
she doesn't take it into account and consider the implications of a state of 
alertness in the brain without any content to be alert about.

 Susan Blackmore has a new essay about consciousness research on her website. 
Food for thought: 

 "Consciousness is not some weird and wonderful product of some brain processes 
but not others. Rather, it is an illusion constructed by a clever brain and 
body in a complex social world. We can speak, think, refer to ourselves as 
agents and so build up the false idea of a persisting self that has 
consciousness and free will."
