There's "state of wakefulness", but that's simply stato di veglia in Italian. I'm unsure what this added descriptor translates into English (in the field of neuroscience).
"Tale ricerca si è basata sull'osservazione che stati riferibili a forme di autocoscienza si manifestano anche in assenza della capacità di rapporti con l'esterno, come nella veglia attenta o nel sogno."
The study to which they refer is available here: http://adrianowen.org/site/Publications_files/Consciousness_...
by Cruse and Owen, 2010.
I'll peruse the article myself, but am posting here in case someone knows the answer without having to go through all that.
Thanks,
Peter

''La TMS/EEG - commenta Mario Rosanova, primo autore dello studio - permette di misurare direttamente e in maniera non invasiva la comunicazione interna al cervello, una condizione che per le neuroscienze teoriche e' necessaria affinche' la coscienza possa emergere. Infatti, studi precedenti hanno dimostrato che l'approccio basato sulla TMS/EEG permette di distinguere nelle persone sane gli stati in cui la coscienza e' presente (veglia attenta, sogno) e quelli in cui la coscienza e' ridotta o assente (sonno, anestesia)''.
