  • The Illusion of Freedom
    Neuroscience of free will, to me implies we really don't have free will.
    "One significant finding of modern studies is that a person's brain seems to commit to certain decisions before the person becomes aware of having made them. With contemporary brain scanning technology, other scientists in 2008 were able to predict with 60% accuracy whether subjects would press a button with their left or right hand up to 10 seconds before the subject became aware of having made that choice."

    Our premotor cortex moves our bodies before we are even have made the decision to move. I very much think we have an illusion of free will.
