Do you believe? Free will? Some scholars no-And they trust Evidence of brain science to make their case. Some discard our decisions and the idea we control the actions. We, as an active professional in the field, know The email messages asked about the neurosientific messages we receive frequently threaten the possibility of free will. It is up to the scientists planned for scientists who are tested, to find out what a person seen by a person in an experiment will be. Free do not conclude naysayers that the unconscious brain process can boot an action that a person believes that a person will be improperly established by its will.
But, what will happen if the results of this research have been wrong, is the devil bury the fine details that most people do not read or understand?
Neuroscience Research will be returned In the early 1980s He claimed to show that consciousness Free will is excited (“Free Conscious” refers to our conscious decisions to determine our actions). These results accrue Like free will be in the coffin nails, the neuroscience offered and the main media offered hammers in 2016, until Atlantic declared “There is no free will. “

It’s not so fast. Combining recent recent research, empirical data and computational modeling, suggest this research in advance They had misinterpretedand no one has one or the other way of freely conscious. Neuroscience, we concluded it, does not condemn many will.
Many cognitive rural neuroscience includes former “non-willing” defenders, now recognize The alleged evidence against it is that neuroscience is doubtful. Unfortunately, people still haven’t heard of news, and neuroscience can conscious will conscious will or, generally free voluntarily, still hangs in the air.
The only view of philosophers has been free will and consciousness Included more and more neuroscientists. These issues are different from other areas of research on the neuroscience, mostly if it is not humanity. On the contrary, few would like to sleep on the relative importance of other human attributes, such as whether people can feel directly in the magnetic field (Magnetoreception).
Science often progresses by posing hypotheses that are changed or discarded. However, in view of the deep existential nature of the research, however, we have two very important questions: where do we need to set the bar for the claim to support free will? And how should we evaluate and interpret the evidence to know about such evidence or when to know?
What Philosopher’s Philosopher Call ScienceInductive risk“Or the costs of potential errors, the cost of mis denialing is often based on the show. And it is usually based on the instant (or proximal decision,” free will and responsibility, however, are significant and often have more time horizons. Perhaps our daily decisions, for the most part, the following decisions are chosen to move forward in your water cup or foot, they are not the acts of conscious free will. But maybe there are some decisions. Luckily, or unfortunately, these consequences are the most difficult to learn.
What would neuroscience take to condemn conscious will? Evidence must clearly show that people solve a decision. Here the devil is in fact, in fact, in detail to predict behavior and conclude the consciousness of brain activity. For example, the use of machines for “anticipating” behaviors before the conscious decision will not tell us a lot. Consider the free option to press your right or left button. The advertiser power would not weaken much will.
Why not? 60% precise predictions can be another alternative or another instead of a strong decision. In addition, many of us have priorities and characteristics of some decisions and characteristics, and it would be surprising, so that these options were not based on the activity of the brain. In addition, because they are based on consciousness and decision-making time and based on past experiences, the prediction should not indicate determination. Thus, in such cases, the details of the performance of the learning machines are not mattered, whether it is “more noticeable” option “. In fact, only a close accuracy of the planned is Ecibokala.
Also, Results of the Neuroscience It depends on the method of data analysis, which can deceive. For example, some digital data filters could occur in the past information in the past, and the analyzes part of the slippery window are unable to predict the analysis of the system data. The devil, again, is in detail.
These reflections matter because the new free scientific data is on the horizon, especially for proliferation Invasive recordings of surgical brain electrodes in humans. An informed reader needs to know what evidence is the conscious will and what would not be.
To be clear, we are not discussing the existence of conscious will; We are talking about data and these data are evidence that weakens conscious conscious will. We need to ensure the paradigms we investigate in the neurocent to draw conclusions about the actions concerning the conscious will. For many behavior, the presence of somehow should not be surprised; Doesn’t your free will before brushing your teeth before going to bed?
Robert Sapolsky has taken another view of the neuroscientist. Discounts brain data and instead of statistical regularities, for example, the misfortune of childhood misfortune can negatively affect the results and results we experience later in life. Argues in his book Determined Statistics such as a deterministic world we have no effect and the statistics like childhood findings. We do not deny the reality of regularities; Our actions can now be limited (or partly specified) our past environment or experiences. But how many limitations is enough to steal free will? Not having much forecasts in these statistics for free conscious will (once again it would be rare if the experience of your early life had no effect on your life.
Finally, we consider that the only human brain is much more complex than the whole atmosphere of the earth, and we cannot Predicting the weather More than a few days in the future. Throwing a sophisticated AI in the brain data does not announce future brain states based on the past, at least soon. We open a chance we reach one day (if you don’t agree not to agree). But one thing is light: We’re not there yet.
