In this episode, we examine Libet, Gleason, Wright, & Pearl (1983), \"Time of Conscious Intention to Act in Relation to Onset of Cerebral Activity (Readiness-Potential): The Unconscious Initiation of a Freely Voluntary Act.\" We'll explain the readiness potential, what the study actually found, common misconceptions, and what it does—and does not—tell us about free will, consciousness, and human decision-making. #Libet #FreeWill #Neuroscience #Psychology #Consciousness #ReadinessPotential #Science #CriticalThinking #BrainScience #TurfgrassEpistemology 📌 https://www.gofundme.com/f/TurfgrassEpistemology Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting evidence-based turfgrass science.
