Free will emerges from quantum effects from "summary" of Quantum brain by Amit Goswami
The idea that free will emerges from quantum effects is a fascinating concept that challenges our traditional understanding of human behavior. According to quantum physics, the world is fundamentally uncertain at its core. At the quantum level, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, only collapsing into a definite state when observed. This inherent uncertainty opens up the possibility for free will to play a role in our decision-making processes. In the classical Newtonian view of the world, every event has a cause and effect, leading to a deterministic worldview where our actions are predetermined by the laws of physics. However, in the quantum realm, particles can behave in unpredictable ways, suggesting that the future is not fully determined by the past. This indeterminacy allows for the introduction of free will as a driving force in shaping our choices. When applied to the brain, the concept of quantum effects influencing our decision-making process...
