It's more a choice of what to focus on amongst the random feedback that nature provides when an observation occurs. Look up his description of Process 1, 2, 3 and Process Zero along with his description of the Zeno effect.

If you go to his publications page you can find many of his recent articles. Didn't you read some of these?

I'd suggest to scroll down and read the following:

1. Quantum Mechanical Theories of Consciousness

2. The Basis Problem in Many-Worlds Theories

3. A model of the Quantum-Classical and Mind-Brain Connections, and of the Role of the Quantum Zeno Effect in the Physical Implementation of Conscious Intent.

There are many other articles to read, some aimed at those with a physics background, and some at other disciplines. Stapp has a tendency to write rather verbose as David said, but given some time it is possible to understand what he tries to explain. The best way to get an understanding about his theory without drowning in equations is by reading his book Mindful Universe.

Be aware that this is a theory in development. I think it is still worth paying attention to as one of the more promising ones though.
