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.
