Current scientific studies show that the subconscious mind makes decisions for us before the conscious mind. Our consciousness is essentially a slave to our subconscious, and all choices we feel are but illusions.
So it is still "us" making the decision (i.e. our body), but it isn't the part of us that we associate with free choice (our conscious mind).
