[The University of Sydney] Sydney Ideas Professor Alfred R Mele [https://wordvine.sydney.edu.au/files/59/14164/images/custom/67824_lindner_wordvine.jpg] Free Will and Neuroscience What do old-school and new-wave studies show? Professor Alfred R Mele, Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University The Kenneth Meredith Garven Lecture, for the symposium Perspectives on Determinism from Across the Sciences<http://sydney.edu.au/arts/sophi/news_events/events.shtml?id=9116> A major source of scientific skepticism about free will is the belief that conscious decisions and intentions never play a role in producing corresponding actions. Professor Alfred Mele presents three serious problems encountered by any attempt to justify this belief by appealing to existing neuroscientific data. He will discuss experiments of three different kinds. Some use EEG (“old school”) and others fMRI or depth electrodes (“new wave”). ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Professor Alfred R Mele is the William H and Lucyle T Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University. He is also the Director of the Philosophy and Science of Self-Control Project and past director of the Big Questions in Free Will Project.
