A novel measure called Network Causal Activity, based on Compression-Complexity Causality, was used to analyze electrocorticographic signals from the lateral cortex of four monkeys. Network Causal Activity was consistently higher in the awake state compared with the anaesthetized state, suggesting it may serve as a quantitative indicator of consciousness.
