References:
Benjamin Libet, Curtis A. Gleason, Elwood W. Wright and Dennis K.
Pearl, 'Time of Conscious Intention to Act in Relation to Onset of
Cerebral Activity (Readiness-Potential)', "Brain", 106 (1983). Any
library can get this for you.

The philosophical significance if Libet's work is discussed in Daniel
Dennet "Consciousness Explained" (Penguin 1993).

For further on this see Antonio Damasio "Decartres' Error: Emotion,
Reason, and the Human Brain".

I don't want this to turn into a "blahspot", so we can discuss this
tangent further, off Cryonet, here:
