Philosophy Wire: Decisions. Will. Neurons. “Can I get some coffee please?”…


Should I or shouldn't I? The activity of individual nerve cells in the brain tells us how confident we are in our decisions. The result is unexpected - the researchers were actually on the trail of a completely different evaluation mechanism. [1] Confident neurons. Confident humans. Confident stars. Oh, universe. Why are you so afraid? No one could be confident if it wasn't for you. Universe being. Universe dying. Neurons firing. Oh, humans. Why are you not confident enough to be afraid? Staring back at yourself. Shedding dry tears. "I'll get the carrot cake, thank you!" "Excellent choice"...
