At the risk of stating the obvious, even if we have figured out all the atoms of the brain, each of us with consciousness will still be wondering, where on Earth is my thoughts?
We may be able to see how the elctrical impulses go from here to there, but you will still wonder where your thought is, wont it?
I actually have a good idea. If this creature asks us what is all these, these thoughts and feelings etc. it will kind of prove it has consciousness, wont it?

An organism does not need consciousness in order to be a success. I'm sure that given time we could create an artificial mind that could behave in a very similar way to ours. But would it be self aware? How would we ever know?
