Haha, I’ve noticed you reacted with “I’d bet this is false”—I would be quite willing to present my arguments and contrast them with yours, but ultimately this is philosophical belief and no conclusive evidence can be produced for either side (that we know of). Sorry if my comment was misleading.
I think it’s actually a neuroscience question, and that we will be able to gather data to prove it one way or the other. Consider, for instance, if we had some intervention, maybe some combination of drugs and electromagnetic fields, which could manipulate the physical substrate hypothesized to be relevant for the wave particle collapse interactions.
If we shift the brain’s perception/interaction/interpretation of the quantum phenomena, and the result is imperceptible to the subject and doesn’t show up on any behavioral measurements, then that would be evidence against quantum phenomena being relevant.
