I believe that consciousness has to be closed tied to our senses. I’ve always assumed that if you had none of the five senses (plus some of the other less talked about ones) you really wouldn’t be conscious. All thoughts are tied to some image or sound or sensory impact. A human who never had a single sensory input, due to let’s say a nerve damage or something, I don’t think it could ever actually have internal thoughts.
