The first step is to understand consciousness and how it works. Once we understand how it works it has a multitude of applications. Not least in computer science (eg. trying to create machines that display consciousness), and neuro-medicine (eg. how do we wake people up that are in a coma).

The first thing should be to define consciousness IMO.
> trying to create machines that display consciousness
In other words, trying to create machines that behave like humans? I don't know what "displaying consciousness" means.
