Kurt Gray,Daniel M. Wegner +1 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Précis of The illusion of conscious will
TL;DR: This book brings these cases together with research evidence from laboratories in psychology to explore a theory of apparent mental causation, according to which when a thought appears in consciousness just prior to an action, is consistent with the action and appears exclusive of salient alternative causes of the action, the authors experience conscious will and ascribe authorship to ourselves for the action.
