What I was getting at is that consciousness in an animal can be measured. It can be both quantified and qualified by measuring brain signals. It can also be changed either through injury (coma), fatigue (sleep), or anesthesia or other means

But consciousness is not related to having a soul (at least how I understand how the term soul is often used)

I am not aware of any way a soul can be detected, no less measured.

I am not even sure I understand what a soul is.
