Free-Will and Determinism

The video explores the concept of free will versus determinism, particularly from a neuroscientific perspective. It discusses how traditional psychology views free will and determinism, citing figures like Skinner and Freud. The video then delves into neuroscience, explaining how behavior is seen as a result of brain processes. It highlights Benjamin Libet's experiment, which showed brain activity preceding conscious decision-making, challenging the notion of free will. The video concludes by discussing consciousness as a product of neural activity, not an independent entity.
