In a fascinating exploration of the question of free will, eminent cognitive neuroscientist, Joaquín Fuster, argues that the liberty or freedom to choose between alternatives is a function of the nervous system, especially the cerebral cortex, in its reciprocal interaction with the environment. Freedom is inseparable from that circular relationship.
