I'm very interested in neuroscience, and I've been paying attention to the subject of free will and neuroscience.

This Atlantic article ends with this:

“Given the issue is so fundamentally important to our view of who we are, a claim that our free will is illusory should be based on fairly direct evidence,” he wrote in a 2004 book. “Such evidence is not available.”

My interest in the subject began some years back with a podcast (might have been Freakinomics) about free will and neuroscience that started with the mirror image of the above claim: If free will exists, there should be direct evidence of it in the brain, and there is not.
