Although scientists can see parts of the brain respond to brain imaging and they can alter a person's thoughts by means of chemicals or surgery, they don't understand the exact moment a conscious thought is formed. In addition, scientists ponder if there is a difference between conscious thoughts (such as decision making) and unconscious thoughts (such as breathing). Studies have found that brain scanners can predict a person's conscious decisions sooner than the person himself.
