  • In a modified version of a notorious experiment by Stanley Milgram, scientists have found that their brains do indeed lose a sense of control over their actions when they obey orders, explaining why people can be easily coerced. The experiments were based on work showing that when people do something voluntarily, they perceive the time delay between their action and the outcome to be shorter than if they were obeying orders.
