Consciousness is the phenomena that arises from the particular physical structure that makes up our brains. Our brains have the ability to process information in a manner that gives rise to consciousness. So anything that allows the processing of information in a similar manner would be conscious.

Matter has the inherent capability of becoming conscious, so long as its structured the right way.

There seems to be a blurry boundary where our consciousness begins and ends. For example, the part of our nervous system that is responsible for reflexes isn't conscious itself - instead, it's commanded by a higher order process. On the other hand, is the part of our brain that handles the processing of visual stimuli conscious? It would seem to be the process that recognizes objects is - but is the layer that discerns colors and edges conscious?

It's an interesting question, but I feel like the blind men in >>11192409's picture whenever I think about it.
