The concept of free will remains a major unresolved issue in psychology and neuroscience – does it exist and do we choose to act as we do, or are our actions a result of influences beyond our control?

Join acclaimed author Al Mele and neuroscientist Patrick Haggard as they discuss how and why the brain activity surrounding action produces the conscious experience of will and explore the problems with the alleged neuroscientific evidence.
