Put a guy playing DotA 2/chess/any other multiplayer game. Estimate his ranking/MMR. Give him a drink. Watch the number drop.

Not precisely consciousness, but scientifically way better, than this BS article and many comments supporting it, because it is:

- measurable

- gives verifiable predictions, that actually hold true

- actually has some relation to real world which is also a multiplayer game of sorts

- shows you can reproduce the phenomenon in other forms (classical state enumerating programs, neural nets)
