"Little Voice That Says 'Stop' Found in Brain"

A different area of the brain allows us to act voluntarily. That's free will. This is "free won't," suggest Marcel Brass, PhD of Germany's Max Planck Institute and Patrick Haggard, PhD, of England's University College London
Brass and Haggard find that a brain region just above and between your eyes -- the dorsal fronto-median cortex or dFMC -- is specifically designed to let you pull back from doing something you were just about to do.
Simply put the “I should of have had a V-8” response to having done something stupid should be applied prior. Applied prior to doing any action this may increase your chances of “living right”. So next time you are going for that Boston cream pie or swooping in on your best friends significant other, smack yourself in the forehead.

"Out-of-Body Experiences Tested in Lab"

14 healthy, young adults wore virtual-reality goggles as they stood in the researchers' lab. A few feet behind them, a video camera filmed their backs and projected that image, in real time, into a hologram a few feet in front of the participants.
Participants didn't lose all sense of themselves. They didn't report feeling like they had left their bodies. But they did describe the sensation as weird or strange. When people touched the holographic version of them, participants "felt" touch applied to virtual-reality versions of their bodies.
After discovering this testers struck the participants' virtual bodies with a hammer. After many near misses and punches for flinching scientists can say that the first-person visual perspective is critically important for the in-body experience. It is only too bad we thought we were doing an “Out-of-body” experiment.

Ehrsson, University College London and the Karolinksa Institute in Stockholm, Swede, says "In other words, we feel that our self is located where the eyes are."

The BLINKS are up in arms insisting that eyes are neither windows to the soul nor the embodiment of self.
