Some attempts have been made. In the 70's neurologist Benjamin Libet showed that neural activity preceded consciousness by about 500ms. We are nothing more than biochemical robots that that think we have a choice. There have not been a lot of studies on this since, because of the implications, i.e., we have no free will and that is a hard pill to swallow. It would seem that no one wants to prove we do not have free will and yet cannot prove we do or disprove the data from Libet's experiments.
Consciousness is nothing more than a byproduct of the brain.
That is funny.
So the vehicle knows that the driver intend to start such a vehicle well before the driver.
Amazing IAT.
Ok. now let us stop the bullshit and star reasoning.
Let us start with the consciousness.
Is the consciousness what come straight in your mind or what come after the reasoning?
Or is all one and happen at the same time?
The iceberg is one but only the part above the water is visible unless you go below the water and see also the hidden part.
What Libet did?
Libet took in consideration the consciousness above the water for his experiment.
Now the question is........who start the action of thinking about something?
The outer consciousness or the hidden super conscious mind?
Nothing wrong with Libet experiment except that the chap instead of looking at the super conscious mind where
the action start he look at the outer conscious mind where the feeling of the initial action emerge after.
It can be less than a second or 1/10 of a sec or whatever it may be but nevertheless it is after it start in the
super conscious mind.
I already made the example of the onion to describe the mind.
The mind is one but there are several layers.
From the very core of the onion to the outer layer.
The mind works in the same way.
Not all the layers are the same.
The core is always much more powerful that the outer ones that is why the perception of the action
doesn't happen at the same time in all layers of the mind.
Capish?
