You are about to embark on a great journey. Are you ready, my friend?

those conscious choice tests works like this: you sit in front of some buttons you can press, and you may freely decide which one. you can take as much time as you need. there is a clock in the room. you are also hooked up to a brain scanny machine. once you've made a decision, before you press the button, you note the time when you committed to that choice. apparently the researchers looking at the machine can consistently predict your choice before you are conscious of having made it. and it's not a few milliseconds before either, it's like 5 seconds

With anything involving a fMRI, the N=10 and you need to take a massive massive grain of salt with the results.
