AbstractReinterpretations of Libet’s results have received support from most commentaries. Libet’s arguments against alternative hypotheses are contested. Latency depends on intensity. Integration of intensity and duration explains the Minimum Train Duration. Analogies of Libet’s timing of intentions with control (flash-lag-like) experiments indicate biases of opposite signs, according to intramodal or intermodal results. Rosenthal’s view of nonconscious intentions (or sensations) becoming conscious after a delay is favored. Compatibilist free will is discussed.
