I think we need to agree that the human consciousness is more than chemicals and electrical signals. Edit: assuming that we can simulate thoso chemical and electrical pulses in a brain-like machine, I think it is logical to say that machine won't have a self awareness because of said pulses. 

To answer your question. Yes. Just like how emotions happen and being felt before the body start to produce all kinds of hormones which enhance the emotions further (fear first, the comes the Adrenaline) I believe the brain pulses which determine the "dominant system" happen due to our choice and will.  

. I don't see why there should be anything else to the human conciousness than chemical reactions and electrical signals because there's nothing suggesting that there's anything more to it.

There are computers out there that are designed to work just like human brain. Also as mentioned earlier that other beings like animals also have brains with said chemicals and electrical signals. But they lack the consciousness of humans.
