Free will and determinism

Hello Rabbi.
Do chaotic or deterministic processes occur in the human brain?
Of course, the question is related to free will and choice versus determinism.
thanks.

Chaotic processes are also deterministic. And of course there is not the slightest connection to the question of choice and determinism. Even if there were quantum processes (which as far as I know probably does not happen. The scales are too large) that are not deterministic in the conventional sense, there would still be no such connection. See my books on the science of freedom, which devote two chapters to this.
