Did you know your brain often makes decisions before you're even consciously aware of them? 😳
This mind-bending phenomenon is called Unconscious Decision-Making — and it reveals just how fast and complex our neural systems really are.
🔬 Studies using fMRI have found that activity in the prefrontal and parietal cortex can predict a person’s decision up to 10 seconds before they think they’ve made it.
For example, in experiments where participants pressed a left or right button, researchers could accurately predict the choice long before the subject was aware.
This doesn’t mean free will doesn’t exist — but it shows that conscious will is often more of a “narrator” than the original “author.” 🧠✨
It’s a reminder that much of what drives us happens beneath the surface
