Q
Scientific libertarianism
A
- Dr Sirigu found that a part of the brain called the parietal cortex may be where free will happens
- During surgery, patients were awake, and when this part of the brain was jolted, they felt the desire to move
- Sirigu discovered that the parietal cortex chooses one action from many possible ones and sends it to another brain area to carry it out. This suggests the brain makes choices, not just automatic responses.
