Who's in Charge?: Free Will and the Science of the Brain
Categories: Science & Math
Neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga, known for his split-brain research, examines what brain science reveals about free will and responsibility. He explains how the brain is made of many parallel systems, with an interpreter that creates our sense of a unified self. Gazzaniga argues that even if the brain is determined, people are still responsible for their actions, which arise from social interactions.
