Our brains.

Good, that would have been my response.

But it does raise a bit of a syntactical issue.  You said, "Experiments suggest that our brains decide what we're going to do it before we're conscious of it."

If we are our brain, then we are making the decision, whether we are immediately conscious of it or not.  So all you are really saying is that one brain process occurs before another brain process.  Smile
