1. There are philosophers and neuroscientists who argue that consciousness lags behind reality, and that we're engaged in nothing more than a series of mindless reflex actions followed by a memory of the event or events, with the brain somehow inserting a fictional consciousness into the memory mix.

2. Hameroff scoffs at such talk, preferring instead to muse that the backward-forward flexibility of time in quantum collapse accounts for our ability to act now, in real time, rather than just after the fact.

Libet measured the time of the action (with EMG), the beginning of the readiness potential in motor cortex (with EEG), and “W” the moment of the decision to act using a revolving spot on a screen. He found that RP started up to a second before the action whereas “W” came only (on average) 350 msec before the action. In other words the conscious decision came far too late to be the cause of the action.

Reality/fiction all the same to me ... and you?
