But, the neural complexity is based an neurons, i.e. cellular strukturs and chemical processes. And we humans share quite a bit of that neural complexity with some species of the animal kingdom. Thus, can I assume that they have a form of consciousness.

Okay, now I have to get get going, some work waiting to be done.

Yes, the question is: how many neurons does it take to reach a certain level of complexity. Is the Sea Anemone, with a handful of neurons, complex enough?
