empirical testing

Can non-random collapses of the wavefunction enable libertarian free will?

Agent-causal libertarian free will asserts that the conscious agent is the ultimate cause of her own voluntary behavior. A major reason to reject libertarian free will is that it seems incompatible with our current knowledge of physics. In this talk I will argue how quantum processes, specifically non-random collapses of the wavefunction in the human cortex, may enable libertarian free will. I will discuss how this account can be empirically tested.
