Stapp appears to. At least it sounds like it from that quote above.

My problem with Stapp, is that even after mountains of verbiage, I never seem to discover what his image of mind is. I mean, if it sits outside and makes quantum measurements, how does it learn about the results? Can it see the consequences of a quantum observation in the future, and choose on that basis (one thinks of presentiment)? Where do minds come from, do they stick around after we die, etc. His theory never seems to deal with such questions - probably because his funding would decay exponentially if he strayed into such matters!

Stapp's thing appears to be libertarian free will, so he's already strayed outside the mainstream. I'm afraid you're never going to get an explanation of consciousness that makes you say "Aha, now I see the solution to the mind/brain problem!"
