I thought this was really interesting, a study in 2008 showed that the brain was aware of impending actions carried out by an individual 10 seconds before the individual was aware of supposedly making a decision to do something.

This supports previous work on this subject by Libet - here is an interesting discussion about this http://www.physicsforums.com/showth....php?t=10137

This research seems to show that we do in fact just observe everything happening and that there is no "doer"
