Unconscious determinants of free decisions in the human brain. Soon, C. S., Brass, M., Heinze, H., & Haynes, J. Nature Neuroscience, 11(5):543–545, May, 2008.
Paper doi abstract bibtex There has been a long controversy as to whether subjectively 'free' decisions are determined by brain activity ahead of time. We found that the outcome of a decision can be encoded in brain activity of prefrontal and parietal cortex up to 10 s before it enters awareness. This delay presumably reflects the operation of a network of high-level control areas that begin to prepare an upcoming decision long before it enters awareness.
