Did Benjamin Libet's famous 1983 experiment prove that your brain decides before you do? In this episode, we examine Libet, Gleason, Wright, & Pearl (1983), "Time of Conscious Intention to Act in Relation to Onset of Cerebral Activity (Readiness-Potential): The Unconscious Initiation of a Freely Voluntary Act." We'll explain the readiness potential, what the study actually found, common misconceptions, and what it does—and does not—tell us about free will, consciousness, and human decision-making.
