My response is applause. Do you have a specific question?

מקס replied 1 year ago

How (or whether) can the research be justified for the concept of free choice?

מיכי Staff replied 1 year ago

Why does this contradict the concept of free will? There is also a pete morgana where a person is sure that he is really seeing and it is not true. It is an illusion. So from this follows the conclusion that our vision is all an illusion? And so with all the optical illusions that we are all familiar with, many of which. Is it also possible, through artificial means (such as electrical stimulation), to make a person imagine that he sees his grandmother in front of him, so from now on, every time he sees his grandmother, it is an illusion? The fact that an illusion can be created is a known fact, but it does not mean that everything is an illusion.
