In 1951, consciousness became of interest because a man named Eugene Aserinksy had discovered that the eyes moved rapidly during sleep.
This sparked a whole frenzy about what this could mean and people became more interested in the whole subject of consciousness and what it could actually mean thereby leading to a change in human perceptions about consciousness.
