We believe there must be “someone” doing the action.
While studying neuroscience, plotting action potentials from lab recordings to check whether a monkey was rising their hand or looking at a light; I had this thought about how sensorial action potentials are ignited by a nervous trigger, coming from the environment, like a light beam exciting the retina cells or something touching our skin nerves. But what is the trigger when it’s an action we as a being start apparently at will?
If you need a set of neurons to agree and spike to start a muscular action as simple as moving a finger: who, where or what started that initial energy needed to make the group of neurons probably at M1 to spike together until the signal is sent to millions of muscle cells so they contract or relax in order for that very finger to move?
