Abstract
The original approach to the decision of a mind-body problem which basis on philosophically rethought of H. Everett’s multiworld interpretation of quantum mechanics and M. Mensky's idea about identity of consciousness with process of selection of quantum alternatives is offered. The explanation of visible psychophysical interaction and processes of a reduction of wave function in the quantum mechanics is offered.
