本研究通过两个实验探讨Libet时钟任务中意图绑定现象是否源于空间工作记忆机制。实验1发现结果绑定与空间工作记忆呈弱负相关，但未找到任务间的显著关联；实验2显示空间记忆负荷增加未增强绑定效果，而视觉记忆任务同样无显著影响。结论提示绑定机制 ...

One of the best known of all neuroscience studies is the ‘free will experiment’ conducted by Benjamin Libet and colleagues in 1983. Libet et al. asked volunteers to tap their fingers at will, freely ...

The Libet experiment, once heralded as undermining the concept of free will, has now been reinterpreted in a less radical way. Last month, I blogged about the famous Libet experiment and how this 1983 ...

You might feel that you have the ability to make choices, decisions and plans — and the freedom to change your mind at any point if you so desire — but many psychologists and scientists would tell you ...

Benjamin Libet, a distinguished neurophysiologist whose pioneering studies of the human brain explored the nature of free will and revealed unsuspected links between the conscious and unconscious ...

The death of free will began with thousands of finger taps. In 1964, two German scientists monitored the electrical activity of a dozen people’s brains. Each day for several months, volunteers came ...

It’s hard to remember after the vicious custody battle, after the charges of kidnapping and countercharges of extortion, that the whole thing started because Libet Johnson had fallen in love.
