I recently came across a preprint reporting statistically significant temporal correlations between EEG signals and outcomes of remote quantum executions.

According to the paper, EEG data from human participants and quantum bit measurement results (performed on a remote quantum computer) were recorded independently and later aligned by timestamp. The authors report nonlocal correlations while explicitly avoiding causal claims.

They also state that standard statistical corrections (e.g., FDR) were applied and encourage independent replication.

My question is not about philosophical interpretation, but about how such results should be evaluated from a physics perspective.

Specifically:

  • Are correlations of this kind plausible under existing quantum theory and statistics?
  • What methodological or statistical pitfalls should be examined first?
  • Would most physicists interpret this as experimental artifact, or as something that genuinely challenges current frameworks?

I would appreciate input from those familiar with quantum foundations, time-series analysis, or experimental methodology.
