takes ten seconds to realize you think! 
John-Dylan Haynes
Centre for Neuroscience in Berlin was a curious experience (1). He volunteers sat at a table on which was placed two buttons, a red and a green button. He asked participants to look at the two buttons, making the decision to press one of these buttons and once decided, to support immediately. These people were related fMRI and a face that fMRI researcher present at the scene watching him, the brain in the process of responding on a computer screen. The researcher observed that the brain had made his decision about 10 seconds before people have the sense to do so spontaneously! Their brains knew So already for ten seconds what they would do ten seconds later, thinking ahead to spontaneously decide ... !
Other experiments initiated in 1983 from Benjamin Libet JD Haynes were already preparing for this observation. Obviously this experience raises questions about free will. Which referee do we decide if our brains behind our back ten seconds before us?
You say of course that our brain is still us! But if you reflect further, you'll realize it's a little more complicated. Because what the brain knows, our body shows it and translating it so close sometimes ten seconds before we realize it. He who knows how to decode the messages of the body has him ten seconds to give up doing what you were going to do ... unless you have consciousness.
Example: You
accompany your partner in a store. She stops before a brightly colored sweater. This sweater is too colorful for her to know immediately if she loves him. His body, it shows that she loves him, because her brain knows she loves him. She did not even realize.
You say then:
- It's funny I saw this same sweater worn by someone so vulgar .... You think how you?
In fact you have to interfere with the free will of your partner without its having been aware. You transform his trial to come even without his knowledge. By sending the message that the sweater is vulgar in a way you prevent to find it pretty. While it would naturally find it very taste in a few seconds ...
There are people who still think that we train our minds when we make. Do not wake up too soon, too abruptly awakened people are always in a bad mood ..
