Abstract
This is a brief comment on the paper "Quantum mechanics needs no consciousness" by Shan Yu and Danko Nikolic [1]. Yu and Nikolic argue that the "consciousness causes collapse hypothesis" interpretation of quantum mechanics, or CCCH, can be falsified by a particular experimental setup. This claim is incorrect and the cause of the error appears to be a confusion over where and when a collapse can be assumed to occur.

Dr Yu and Dr Nikolic have both seen this article. Shan Yu has said he is happy for the comment to be posted in its current form but wishes it to be known that he does not agree with my conclusions
