Volition and the Readiness Potential
<p>In the “Libet study” the onset of movement-related brain activity preceded the reported time of the conscious intention to move, suggesting that non-conscious brain processes predetermine voluntary movements (Libet, Gleason, Wright, & Pearl, 1983). While the study’s basic results have been …

Literacy Potentials: Agency, Embodiment, And Hybridity In Cesar Chavez's Discourse Practices
… dissertation develops the concept of discursive readiness potential to describe agency as a capacity to act in discursive situations that emerges from one's embodied practice of literacies. The project explores Chávez's discourse genealogy through the first thirty-five years of his life in order …

An Electrophysiological Examination of Visuomotor Activity Elicited by Visual Object Affordances
… temporal sensitivity offered by the Lateralised Readiness Potential and by visual evoked potentials P1 and N1 made ideal candidates to assess the behavioural claims of rapid visuomotor activation by seen objects by examining the timecourse of neural activation elicited by viewing affording …

Modified constraint-induced movement therapy in children with congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy
… In this study a test using the lateralised readiness potential (LRP) component of the EEG that was appropriate for young children was developed and evaluated with a small sample of unimpaired children and children with CP.

Ready for Action! When the Brain Learns, Yet Memory-Guided Behavior Does Not Follow
The ability to use memory for action is critical for everyday life, such as for remembering which alarm signals danger. Although research suggests that memory for past events influences how we respond to events in the present, the magnitude of behavioral benefit varies and can even be absent. How …

Unconscious priming of "freely" chosen voluntary actions: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence
… action-effects became evident in the lateralized readiness potential (LRP), an electrophysiological indicator of specific response activation processes. Under certain circumstanced this automatic response activation can bias free-choice actions although participants experienced the actions as …
