Oh ok. In which case that which you call conciousness I would probably call the soul - or I that's what I would understand it to mean in most contexts. (not that I could tell you what is MRI-able but I suspect that most things are, if not now then in theory).
According to most major religions, the Soul continues to exist beyond the death of the body. MRI-able conciousness ceases to exist at the point of death.
