Do we really have free will? And, if so, where does it come from? In this film, Professor Patrick Haggard explains the differences between free will and behavioural, psychic and neurological determinism. We then reconstruct Benjamin Libet's seminal experiment on determinism, showing its implications for understanding consciousness and explaining human behaviour.
