Time of conscious intention to act in relation to onset of cerebral activity (readiness-potential). The unconscious initiation of a freely voluntary act.
- B. Libet, C. Gleason, E. Wright, D. Pearl
- Psychology, Medicine
- Brain : a journal of neurology
- 1 September 1983
The recordable cerebral activity (readiness-potential, RP) that precedes a freely voluntary, fully endogenous motor act was directly compared with the reportable time (W) for appearance of the… Expand
Unconscious cerebral initiative and the role of conscious will in voluntary action
- B. Libet
- Psychology
- 1 December 1985
Voluntary acts are preceded by electrophysiological "readiness potentials" (RPs). With spontaneous acts involving no preplanning, the main negative RP shift begins at about -550 ms. Such RP's were… Expand

Mind Time: The Temporal Factor in Consciousness
- B. Libet
- Psychology
- 31 March 2004
Our subjective inner life is what really matters to us as human beings - and yet we know relatively little about how it arises. Over a long and distinguished career Benjamin Libet has conducted… Expand
Do We Have Free Will
- B. Libet
- Psychology
- 3 March 2005
I have taken an experimental approach to this question. Freely voluntary acts are pre ceded by a specific electrical change in the brain (the ‘readiness potential’, RP) that begins 550 ms before the… Expand
Readiness-potentials preceding unrestricted 'spontaneous' vs. pre-planned voluntary acts.
- B. Libet, E. Wright, C. Gleason
- Psychology, Medicine
- Electroencephalography and clinical…
- 1 September 1982
The nature of readiness-potentials (RPs) that may be associated with fully endogenous, 'freely' voluntary acts was investigated. Restriction on when to act were eliminated and instructions fostered… Expand

Subjective Referral of the Timing for a Conscious Sensory Experience
- B. Libet, E. Wright, Bertram Feinstein, D. Pearl
- Psychology
- 1 March 1979
PREVIOUS studies had indicated that there is a substantial delay, up to about 0.5 s, before activity at cerebral levels achieves ‘neuronal adequacy’ for eliciting a conscious somatosensory experience… Expand

Responses of human somatosensory cortex to stimuli below threshold for conscious sensation.

- Medicine
- Science
- 1967
Averaged evoked responses of somatosensory cortex, recorded subdurally, appeared with stimuli (skin, ventral posterolateral nucleus, cortex) which were subthreshold for sensation. Such responses were… Expand
