This is interesting in an abstract-intellectual sense, but doesn't really seem to surprise me. If I understood the abstract right, they made a program learn where a user clicks, then used this to anticipate where the user would click next and begin visual feedback prior to the actual click. Users either didn't think twice or understood that the system was anticipating them and rolled with it. This is what I would expect. Extrapolation and prediction of how a system will evolve based on past experience (if I roll this ball off the table it will fall; it was me who set it in motion) is something humans master as young children. From the submission title I expected it would be about something more like this: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/09/free-will-bereitschaftspotential/597736/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/09/free-will... A wrong prediction as it turns out ... :-)
