Define Consciousness

a collection of neural-networks and chemicals signals (... perhaps?)

What's your definition/explanation?

There is a nice long article on wikipedia with many physical and philosophical ideas about consciousness; however, I found most of the explanations and theories rather unsatisfying. The most sensible theory to me was the Quantum Mind hypothesis, but it really is no more an explanation than an excuse to say that we find it rather mysterious. Anyway, what do the educated/smart readers of the forum think.
