There has been a long controversy as to whether subjectively ‘free’ decisions are determined by brain activity ahead of time. We found that the outcome of a decision can be encoded in brain activity of prefrontal and parietal cortex up to 10 s before it enters awareness. This delay presumably reflects the operation of a network of high-level control areas that begin to prepare an upcoming decis...

Much of the United States is urbanizing, increasing importance developing Extension programs geared toward urban audiences. There has been an interest in agriculture (UA) recent years as outgrowth “local food” movement. The COVID-19 pandemic increased awareness food system resilience, which can play a role.

Noticing errors of omission can be challenging in complex, distributed processes. A prime example is outpatient care, where multiple distributed processes require attention. Teams must pay attention to patients currently in the clinic, to processes happening in the background, and to potential omissions in those processes. Detecting possible omissions may be supported with software, serving as ...

Eye contact captures attention and receives prioritized visual processing. Here we asked whether eye contact might be processed outside conscious awareness. Faces with direct and averted gaze were rendered invisible using interocular suppression. In two experiments we found that faces with direct gaze overcame such suppression more rapidly than faces with averted gaze. Control experiments ruled...

This paper contrasts two approaches to agentive self-awareness: a highlevel, narrative-based account, and a low-level comparator-based account. We argue that an agent’s narrative self-conception has a role to play in explaining their agentive judgments, but that agentive experiences are explained by low-level comparator mechanisms that are grounded in the very machinery responsible for action-p...
