What does mainstream quantum physics currently say about consciousness?

Here's the result of a PF forum search on the word consciousness. Some of the threads are locked, but others discuss some aspects of mainstream science and consciousness...

Thank you. When I started to post, up came similar questions. I jumped one link but it was not relevant to my question. I did not consider to do a search on consciousness. Lots of helpful material here.

You may want to google the physicist Henry Stapp, he has written on this.

Thank you, berkeman and SteveTNZ, for the links. I visited both and found them helpful.

I am looking for ways to test concepts, to be as objective as possible.

Nothing.

Consciousness is not a subject of mainstream quantum physics.
