I would suggest that you read one of his papers on Physicalism Versus Quantum Mechanics. |
I did.
But we'll need it all over the place. Not just with humans. Not just with other animals. And not just with the ion channels in a brain.

The physicalist world view is not the Newtonian world view. The QM world view is the correct one. Stapp only tries to show where that leads and including us in the process.

Do you think that the quantum worldview inexorably leads to our needing quantum mechanics to explain how I move my arm?

Is it really so complicated? Maybe to grasp at first. But what he says is that everything is a combination of four processes. They give rise to it all.

Except the free will part. That's still incoherent. But if everything else can be explained by four fundamental processes, that would be cool.
