Abstract
In collapse theories of quantum mechanics, there are observers who are in a superposition of brain states with different perceptions. This paper presents a no-go result for such quantum observers. It is argued that the following three assumptions: (1) quantum observers have minds, (2) quantum observers can report their mental content, and (3) no-signaling are incompatible. Possible implications of this result are also briefly discussed.
