I have no empirical proof, but I'd like to add my firm testimony that consciousness was aware of the decision far before it was reflected in the electrical activity of the brain. The stuff that reaches the basest levels of our consciousness (our physical minds) has already been processed (most of the time) and a course of action deduced.
