There is no more of such excuse 'Sorry I did not want to do this, I really did not mean this to happen...' More like 'I could not help it happen'

now, we're walking ground I know about.
I've never believed people do things unconsiously but gosh it's a very good excuse...specially if they've been horrible to someone... .
it's usually easier saying, oops, sorry,!
I suppose we could also go onto the blindfold theme here... "no, Idon't want to admit I did that, of course I didn't do that!" blindfold.
OMG!

Experiment on the correlation between electrical activity of the brain and movement (lifting a finger for example), reveals that the electrical activity precedes the movement by 200 milliseconds. It is proposed that the process of initiating a voluntary action occurs in an unconscious part of the brain, but that just before the action is taken, consciousness is recruited to approve or veto the action. In the 200 milliseconds before a finger is lifted, consciousness determines whether it moves or not.
Thus, our conscious mind may not have free will, but it can freely modify inappropriate behavior. This is the reason for the laws in our society to hold all of us accountable for our own action. It is suggested that we should update our idea of free will to mean self-control over our behaviour.
