Considering these three statements:

- the brain predicts what its upcoming input will be,

- quantum biologists ask if the human eye is sensitive to quantum effects, and

- measuring quantum information under different bases result in a different quantum state of not only the measurer, but of the world being measured.

I wonder if it is possible that the brain uses its predictive power to change the basis under which the eye measures photons, resulting in different perceptions as well as a different reality. A bit of a crazy idea but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be the case other than if it is shown that biological sensory organs are simply not that precise.

I can think of a few reasons to think that's not the case. For one, Rhodopsin isn't really under neurological control, so there's no way for top-down predictions to alter it. For another, what possible benefit would changing your evaluation basis give you? The whole point is that no matter what basis you pick everything works out the same!

This would break if the observation is done via recording > watch later

Has it ever been done that way?
