An Examination of the Potential for Quantum Consciousness in the Fruit Fly

This proposal seeks to perform an experiment to determine whether lower-level species such as fruit flies can interact in a causative way with a quantum mechanical system. Its specific aim is to investigate whether certain supposedly random quantum mechanical choices can be biased for the natural selection, with fruit flies as the species of interest. This work will shed empirical light on the causal roles of observers with presumably much lower levels of consciousness than humans.
