It’s Good to Know: About Decision-Making
According to a recent study, your brain makes decisions several seconds before you even know about it.
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute used brain scanners to monitor brain activity as test subjects made a decision to push a button with either their right or their left hand. There was a noticeable difference in brain activity between a decision made to use the right hand and a decision made to use the left hand. Not only that, but the scientists found that the brain activity took place at least seven seconds before the subject made the "conscious" choice to push the button.
