And that may very well be true. As I recall, Sam Harris touches on this when he discusses the complexities of "free will", and how brain scans neuroscientist can observe the brain making decision before the brain contemplates the input. I'm not sure I accept all those claims, but it's an interesting field of study with many implications.


The brain is the decision maker. Information is acquired and processed before decision making and conscious thought, a delay of milliseconds between input and conscious response.
