Abstract:
The brain not only makes use of measuring apparatuses, but perhaps has the potential to serve as one itself. Since Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations must be absent between observer and object in order for a quantum state to become reducible, it is tempting to perturb measurements by changing the quantum state of the brain. The latter would then be part of the measurement. What kind of effects would one expect? It appears that a new psychophysical problem has been opened up, since any observable consequences would be confined to the subjectivity of the observer.
