There's insufficient data for a meaningful answer. We have NO idea what
consciousness is-we can't even agree on a definition really. Francis Crick (of
DNA fame) spent his last few years investigating consciousness and came up with
some interesting ideas on physical correlates of it, but nothing of deep
understanding.

Nothing.

Psychologists? How dare you associate a real scientist with Psychologists! ;-)
