This is a pretty freaky experiment, even for someone like me who knows free will is an illusion:
Our Brains Make Up Our Minds Before We Know It
Brain activity can foretell some choices before subjects are conscious of them.
excerpt:
Similar to the earlier experiment, the researchers were able to predict the subjects’ choices based on brain activity up to four seconds before research participants were consciously aware of their choices. As published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the report concludes, “Our results suggest that unconscious preparation of free choices is not restricted to motor preparation. Instead, decisions at multiple scales of abstraction evolve from the dynamics of preceding brain activity.”
