@coberst:

It has been shown by studies on brain activity that our decisions (such as the decision to eat, drink, go to the right, cross the street, stop walking) are made prior to our conscious awareness of the same. What appears to us to be a conscious decision seems rather to be us becoming consciously aware of a decision already made.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.
