Do you mean that's not what most people mean because it's one among many psychological effects or do you mean that's not what people mean because it's a clear and well-posed question?
My suspicion is that consciousness will end up being like motion or information. Motion pre-Newton meant "change". After Newton, motion is physical motion (well-defined scientifically) and everything else is metaphor. Information pre-Shannon meant some nebulous ideas about meaning. After Shannon, information is the ability to determine one signal from another (well-defined scientifically).
There are a host of computational processes that seem to be lumped together in the concept of consciousness. But whenever we look at any of them specifically, they become amenable to neuroscientific inquiry and often have (at least partial) answers already.
