The implication for changing men's violent behavior is clear: it's not enough to get abusive men to think, "I won't hit my wife," because, by the time they have thought this thought, the non-conscious part of their brain that really controls their behavior -- a Darwinian algorithm if you will -- would have already decided to strike out.

Brain science, Eagleman believes, provides the final frontier in our understanding of our own littleness and contingency: the realisation that consciousness is not the centre of the mind but a limited and ambivalent function in a vast cosmological circuitry of non-conscious neurological functions.

Dr. DEHAENE: You don't notice it because it's become non-conscious.
