I think you can define/measure something similar, the default mode network (DMN). The literature/AI thinks
Yes, the default mode network is related to some feelings people associate with consciousness, especially, selfhood, autobiographical memory, mind-wandering, inner narrative, rumination, imagining the future, “me-ness”. DMN activity seems closely related to the narrative/self-reflective layer of consciousness, not necessarily raw sentience or being awake at all.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the feeling of consciousness if pretty strongly correlated with this, and it can be measured. Having a very weak DMN however doesn’t make someone a p-zombie.
