Greetings from Serbia to NATO HQ in Brussels on anniversary
"Sorry, we didn't know it was invisible." The retired colonel of the Air Force of the SR Yugoslavia, Zoltan Dani, who was at the head of the unit that shot down the American F-117 stealth plane on March 27, 1999, together with his comrades…

May be such is what I see it too.
Note that you can still introduce consciousness as to play a role in the 'collapse'. But now this needs a theory of mind, not just quantum mechanics. In other words, QM as it is do not, in any way speak about the mind. But quantum mind theory does.
If you still want to say the 'collapse of wavefunction' is caused by mind, then such a mind will be the one that pervades everywhere in some way. A measuring device has some 'distorted' mind.
We can identify 'soul' with some field that is due to quantum coherence. In other words decoherence does not completely cancel the whole-pervading wavefunction. The amplitude (square modulus, for those who know math.☺)of this wavefunction will equal density, not probability of finding a particle. So decoherence leaves an extreemly tenuous substance that pervades everywhere. We can identify this with 'mind'. Wigglings in this field influences where the particle collapse in.
But note that this is different from the tree-in-the-forest. The latter says consciousness CREATES particles. The former says it MOVES them in some way. There is objective reality, the 'mind' itself being part of it. The field from our brain reaches the measuring device.
Only via such an additional, theory of mind, might we relate quantum observation with awareness. Quantum theory alone does not!
R Lovely, I gently look forward to a profoundly cohesive and holistic post-quantum physics unfolding from the next unfoldment of human awareness, in the 'blink of an infinite I'.... 😉

Therefore the simplistic QM taught in introductory courses must be rejected when 'you grow up quantum-logically'.☺
That understanding must always include 'Quantum Decoherence'. Any article that talks about quantum measurement without a mention of Quantum Decoherence is an ignorant article, you can savely reject it, if you want to seriously understand QM!
The earlier QM theories of Heisenberg et-al did not contain quantum decoherence because they were theories of single particles. Measurement(hence observation), however must involve many, interacting particles as a measuring device must be a classic object as a human eye can only see a classic object.
When a quantum wave goes near the measuring device, this wave can nolonger be described by a single Schrodinger Equation. It now mixes with gazillions of waves. This Decoheres the wave and makes it like a particle, which joins the other particles forming the clasic object and completely joins the clasic system. So you see that the wave does 'collapse' into a particle-like wave-packet as it joins the classic object. The classic object is, itself, an ensemble of such wave-packets. Since the decohered wave-packet is now like any other classic object, we can savely regard the wave function as to have 'collapsed'.
You are welcome☺ It is so nice to hear that😆
