unbelievable-facts:Brain scanners can detect the brain making a decision 7 seconds before the person
unbelievable-facts:Brain scanners can detect the brain making a decision 7 seconds before the person is aware of the choice, casting doubt upon the concept of “free will”This isn’t true. I know the paper this is coming from (here if interested) and even the paper doesn’t make such bold claims. Although they do make some statements I wouldn’t agree with, and there has also been some work questioning the statistical methods and inferences used in the paper. Despite that, it’s an interesting paper and a good study from a respected lab, but as with all neuroimaging interpretations need to be made VERY carefully. -- source link
