Yeppers... your link was "vuW4lOLEpU"
It needed to be "-vuW4lOLEpU" with the - at the beginning.

It was an interesting video too, it wasn't until the very end that I remembered I'd seen it before but still good to see again.
Makes me wonder though, about 'split second' decisions. Are they also formed in our subconscious before we become aware of them - are they there regardless of our change of decision... or are they able to occur spontaneously. I wish they'd tested that.
I wonder if there is a link between understanding this and people who suffer OCD!

That's kinda creepy to think about that you mite not even make your own decisions, unless I misunderstood this?

Thanks for the video, quite interesting.
I'm no neurologist, of course, but it seems like he's making a bit of a leap in assumption there, as he seems to be claiming that he decides nothing, it just kind of filters in to his consciousness, and six seconds later, he pushes the button. The missing part is that what they are simply seeing is the process by which a decision is made. An easy way to reassess what they are seeing is to require you to decide which button to press on a much faster basis -- every two seconds, for example. Would your decisions overlap, because of this six second thing?
Not to get all creepy or anything, but it seems like one of the possible outcomes of research like this is the development of technology that can force you to make decisions you might not otherwise, and have it seem like it was, in fact, your decision, and you think it's a fine one.
