If you do it gradually, you will still have the experience, even though there's now a delay between when you hit the button and the light flashes, you will still have the exact same experience you had initially, which is that the light flashes right when you push the button.
In your experience, nothing is changing.
But then, so they gradually give a delay, right?
you've acclimated to that because it was done gradually if they then go back to the original instantaneous flash your brain doesn't have time to make the adjustment and you have the experience that the light flashed before you hit the button and that is your true experience it's not like you're confused but that is your brain didn't have time to to make that adjustment you think you're in the same environment you're pushing the button it makes the light flash it's kind of
calibrating all the time but then the the participants are suddenly saying oh wait that was so weird the light flashed before I hit the button and so these that's crazy they built a
Rochambeau rock, paper, scissors computer game that was unbeatable based on this glitch that you can present in binding by training someone.
If you introduce a delay slowly enough, then the computer can get the information before it responds, but you still have the experience that you're both throwing out your
rock or paper scissors at the same time.
But in actuality, the computer saw your choice before it makes its choice.
And it's in this window of milliseconds where you don't notice it.
Yeah.
And just in general, that consciousness is not the thing that we feel it is, which is driving the behavior.
That is actually at the tail end of it.
And so a lot of decision making processes and there are studies that are more controversial and I don't usually like to cite them.
Although if you want to talk about them, we can.
They're super interesting and intuition shattering.
But there are now studies specifically about free will to see.
if there are markers at the level of the brain, they can see what decision you're going to make and when you make that decision.
And I think the neuroscience inevitably is just going to get better.
And so part of the reason I'm so passionate about this, I mean, there's the science and there's just the curiosity that drives me of wanting to understand how the universe works.
