So why are we able to move (or seem to move) lightning fast when we have a reflex, but we are unable to move that fast and acutely at will?
In: Biology
Reflexes can be totally involuntarily or close to it and bypass a lot of the higher thought processes. Since we’re not wasting time deciding if we should do something a lot of time is saved. Your brain can go straight from “object flying at face” to “close eyes” without considering anything else
