We have to distinguish between the ideas ´conscious perception´ and ´consciousness´.
A ´conscious perception´ is possible — when we are 1) alive, 2) when our brain is able to reactivate neuronal network and when 3) the neural activits is above a certain threshold (to 3: we can recognize this with EEG-activity-waves: some frequences indicate a state e.g. of coma, of sleepiness, of conscious awareness)
´consciousness´ is only a category-term which we use when we talk about perceptions
