Have you contacted the Integrated Information Theory group about this project? In my (dualistic naturalist) viewpoint their work is the most advanced in the area of consciece detection.
Of course, conscience is absolutely noumenal and the best part of their work is focused in the case where self reported conscience experience is possible [humans], but they tried to extrapolate into mathematical models of application to any material system.
The last I read about Integrated Information Theory was Scott Aaronsson’s criticism of it. Has his arguments been addressed, because I found it very compelling?
Regarding the neurological part (the conscience detector based in brain information) that is described in “Sizin Up consciuosness” I think they are mostly rigth. The IIT mathematical model is beyond my understanding, and the Aronsson criticism also. But given my naturalistic dualist vision of conscience, unfortunately only an axiomatic and extrapolative way to consciousness measurement is possible.

Good suggestion, Arturo. We haven’t reached out, but it’s certainly worth having a conversation.
