From McQueen's site:

Quote:Metaphysics of consciousness
In collaboration with David Chalmers (NYU), we are working on formulating mathematically precise and experimentally verifiable formulations of the hypothesis that consciousness causes the collapse of the wave-function.
I recently presented this research at the 2016 Science of Consciousness conference. A video clip of the talk can be found here.
A follow-up interview for Consciousness TV can be found here.
A presentation of an earlier stage of this research by David Chalmers, from 2014, can be found here.
A pop science article, aimed at a general audience, can be found here.
