Did your brain make your decision before you became aware of it? In this video, we explore the groundbreaking neuroscience study that found brain activity can predict a person's choice seconds before conscious awareness, and what it means for free will.

Paper: Unconscious Determinants of Free Decisions in the Human Brain (2008) Authors: Chun Siong Soon, Marcel Brass, Hans-Jochen Heinze, and John-Dylan Haynes

In this episode of Turfgrass Epistemology, we examine Stanley Milgram's classic paper, Behavioral Study of Obedience (1963), and explore how authority influences our beliefs and decisions. Why do turf managers, consultants, and consumers often accept claims because a professor, university, or industry expert said them? Learn how the logical fallacy of Appeal to Authority can lead us to substitute credentials for evidence—and why scientific claims should be evaluated by data, not status.

Paper Discussed: Milgram, S. (1963). Behavioral Study of Obedience. Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, 67, 371–378.
