Episode 25: Monkeys and Free Will with Adina Roskies

Oct 4, 2021

In this episode we talk with neuroscientist and philosopher Adina Roskies about what we can learn about free will from monkey cognition. We also ask her about her take on the Libet experiment and whether neuroscience could, in principle, disprove free will.
