Some attempts have been made. In the 70's neurologist Benjamin Libet showed that neural activity preceded consciousness by about 500ms. We are nothing more than biochemical robots that that think we have a choice. There have not been a lot of studies on this since, because of the implications, i.e., we have no free will and that is a hard pill to swallow. It would seem that no one wants to prove we do not have free will and yet cannot prove we do or disprove the data from Libet's experiments.
Consciousness is nothing more than a byproduct of the brain.
