Benjamin Libet
Benjamin Libet was a pioneering neuroscientist known for his groundbreaking research on the relationship between consciousness and brain activity. His most famous experiment in the 1980s demonstrated that the brain initiates motor activity before individuals are consciously aware of their intention to act, a finding that has profound implications for our understanding of free will and decision-making.
