I suggest you watch my prior readings of this text first, otherwise it might be confusing.

The Libet Experiments are a potential challenge to Realistically Construed Orthodox Quantum Mechanics, in that they have been treated as evidence that the that the mind is an illusion made of physical building blocks alone, on the basis that brain activity of a given action (e.g. moving a finger) occurs prior to people being aware of it. This, and other questions have been raised by critics regarding Realistically Construed Orthodox Quantum Mechanics. Does it hold up to scrutiny? Whether it does or not, there are significant ramifications.

Also, how does the Law of Free Will relate to this. What, if anything, initiates a contemplated action? Is manifestation by consciousness involved?
