One strategy for bringing consciousness into the scientific fold is to try to articulate a theoretical basis for connecting the observable characteristics of animals (behavioral or neurological) to consciousness.
For example: Is there a scientific basis for connecting the data sets?
Although the physiologically relevant role of this phenomenon is not yet clear, our model provides a potential mechanistic basis for connecting these two processes.
Combining new sequencing technologies with metabolic labeling will allow researchers to pinpoint actively transcribed genes in other rapidly cycling or terminally differentiated cells, providing the basis for connecting gene architecture with cell cycle dynamics.
Recognizing how anger functions as a manipulator of emotional life while also understanding its vital function as signal for deeper distress can be a basis for real dialogue, connecting us to our shared human experiences of fear, vulnerability, and the values we hold dear.
But later in that same sentence, the trust document muddies the waters; it is enough, it says, for the research to serve as "a basis for subsequent research directly connected with" the petroleum field.
Gene Robinson, a neuroscientist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, says the study provides a basis for the proposal that cryptochrome connects the circadian clock to the sun compass.
This clue appeals to those who want a basis for consciousness that isn't physical, while still connecting it to the physical universe.
For example, social identifications can give life meaning and purpose, provide a sense of continuity, connect one with others, and provide a basis for social support.
