2022, Consciousness and CognitionCitation Excerpt :Empirical endeavors started to expand our understanding of volition under the auspices of neuroscience and psychology. In particular, the Libet experiments (Libet et al., 1982, 1983; Libet, 1985—based on the earlier work of Kornhuber & Deecke, 1965) are widely considered to be the first neuroscientific studies to strongly and directly impact the philosophical debate on free will. They purported to show that unconscious brain activity precedes and contributes to conscious decision-making, threatening the common notion that actions are initiated consciously.
