Can the function of Mind be probed without any external gadget ?

Probing can be generalized to mean 'To measure or to ascertain the strength or volume by going deeper.'
This act done using any external gadget throws light on the function of the mind theoretically. The values are displayed and read by us visually. This has no practical value for understanding consciousness.

On the other hand, probing done without the aid of external gadgets happens with concentration of the Mind.

Concentration to switch off the external view and sound leads one to the inner probing of the mind. Conscious switching off  of the external focus facilitates being aware of the functioning of the mind. Although this is possible, there are chances of dozing off to sleep after a short period of switching off the external awareness. 

It is interesting to note that sleep can be evaded by switching to a creative mode of thinking!  In other words, the mind and body can be made to relax by adopting a busy attitude but one that is creative and engaging to the mind. When mind is rested through a creative activity, one can activate the probing function effortlessly!!
