I sketch a line of thought about consciousness and physics that gives some motivation for the hypothesis that conscious observers deviate - perhaps only very subtly and slightly - from quantum dynamics. Although it is hard to know just how much credence to give this line of thought, it does motivate a stronger and more comprehensive programme of quantum experiments involving quantum observers.

  1. General Relativity, Mental Causation, and Energy Conservation

    General Relativity, through the generalized Bianchi identities, forces the simplest scalar form of Cartesian mental influence to be constant and therefore zero, so it resists rather than enables mental causation.
