 More recently, work led by J-D. Haynes (2013; see also Soon, et al., 2008) has found brain events that are somewhat correlated with decisions, and that occur several seconds before the decision is made. This work seems unsettling for the following reason. If we believe we were weighing options on a matter that was still open at, say, one second before our conscious decision, but our action was already predictable from neural events before that, then we would be under some illusion about the extent to which our conscious decision has an effect on our behavior.
