That's basically what he's going to do.

Okay.

Interesting.

But instead of bringing people into an ice cream shop, he does something much more basic.

So imagine if you're in this experiment, he has you come into the lab, you sit down in a chair, and he gives you these instructions.

But meanwhile, he wants a way to track exactly when you made your decision.

So he puts this thing on the wall.

Okay.

I'm going to flex.

I'm going to do it.

And then later the person would say like, yeah, I made my decision to flex my wrist when the point on the clock thing was at like the three o'clock position.

And then meanwhile, Libet's got this EEG going on.

So electrodes on the person's scalp that can measure electrical activity of the brain.

And then he can also see when they flex their wrists because he has something else that like reads out muscle activity.

So now he has the time people say they made this decision.

Yes.

And then he has the time they actually flex their wrists and he has those brain signals throughout this whole time.

So now we're kind of ready.

to see, like, what is going on.

Like, if we are the ones calling the shots, if I have the power to flex my wrist now, you'd expect to see a certain pattern of events.
