Libetstyle
Libetstyle is a term used to describe a specific approach to experimental design and data analysis that emerged from the work of Benjamin Libet in the field of neuroscience. Libet's experiments, particularly those investigating the timing of conscious intention and motor action, laid the groundwork for this style of inquiry. Key characteristics of Libetstyle research include a focus on precise temporal measurements of neural activity and behavioral responses. Researchers adopting this style often employ techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) to record brain electrical activity and simultaneously measure the onset of voluntary movements.
The core of Libetstyle research lies in the attempt to correlate specific patterns of neural firing with
