This thought-provoking discussion will investigate the concept of free will through the lens of neuroscience. Attendees will learn about experiments that reveal how our brains may make decisions before we are consciously aware of them, challenging our perceptions of autonomy. We will explore how individuals often create retrospective justifications that do not accurately reflect the true processes that led to their decisions. The session, led by Simon Serka, will encourage participants to consider the implications of these findings on our understanding of choice and accountability in human behavior. By connecting neuroscience with philosophical questions about freedom, this event aims to provide a comprehensive view of how our capabilities for decision-making are intertwined with brain function, inviting deeper reflections on what it means to be truly free.
