Can we Falsify the Consciousness-Causes-Collapse Hypothesis in Quantum Mechanics?
arXiv Preprint Archive September 2, 2016 J. Acacio de Barros, Gary Oas
The paper argues that proposals claiming to disprove the hypothesis that mind-matter interaction collapses the wave function are fundamentally flawed. It describes a general experimental setup that retains key features of those proposals and shows that even this broader setup cannot disprove the mind-matter collapse hypothesis. Under reasonable assumptions about consciousness, the hypothesis is unfalsifiable.
