No, you haven't even made the decision yet. And a different part of the brain showed activity each time, so the scientist could say "He will choose B" before the person decided he would choose B. And it was pretty much very accurate. I'm not really describing the experiment well lol Anyway, it indicates that the decision was made before we consciously made it.
Also, I never said it was proof of no free will, just it was an example of evidence that pointed towards there being no free will. Hence the "There's no definitive proof yet" part of the sentence.

I'm not very good at wording itmyself but here's a link and what's said I agree with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anBxaOcZnGk
This link isn't supposed to be convincing or proof or anything, it's just someone else verbalizing my opinion in a way I can't lol
