Abstract

When the input is the participant's conscious intention to move, however, they subjectively decide on its timing. [...] critics weren't convinced that the activity seen by Libet before a conscious decision was sufficient to cause the decision - it could just have been the brain gearing up to decide and then move. [...] all it suggests is that there are some physical factors that influence decision-making", which shouldn't be surprising.
