Brain Stimulation and Free Will

A recent study suggests that brain stimulation techniques can be used to block traumatic memories by targeting specific areas of the brain associated with those memories. This raises philosophical questions about the nature of free will in relation to how electrical stimulation can alter thought processes. There is a notable observation that no brain surgeons endorse the concept of free will, hinting at a potential disconnect between our understanding of consciousness and the brain's physical responses. This suggests a deeper exploration into how our memories and decisions might be influenced by interventions that challenge our notions of autonomy.
