As I said, I don’t remember the details. And it wasn’t my experiment, so the “you” and “your” don’t exactly fit.
Anyway, the subject was told not to think about it, just pull the trigger spontaneously and make a note of where the sweep second hand on the clock stopped. The signals to the muscles were measured by the monitoring equipment, and were building up before a conscious decision was made.
It may be there we are thinking before we think we are thinking, or something. LOL
“And it wasn’t my experiment, so the “you” and “your” don’t exactly fit.”
Yes, they do, because YOU are voicing YOUR interpretation of the experiment.
“The signals to the muscles were measured by the monitoring equipment, and were building up before a conscious decision was made.”
See, this is where YOU insert YOUR opinions that can’t be supported by any data. There is no way to scientifically determine or measure a “conscious decision” being made. Science cannot detect, quantify, or even define such an ethereal thing as “consciousness”, since it is a wholly subjective and insubstantial phenomenon. However, you would like to equate the detecting of some electrical activity in the brain with a “conscious decision” in order to support your opinion. The experiment doesn’t actually support that conclusion.
