There are hundreds of case studies attempting to manipulate people’s belief in free will to determine whether it will affect the way they act. And as Jim Davies — a professor at Carleton University's Department of Cognitive Science — uncovers, new insights into this research reveal some surprising outcomes, which suggests a third side to the ethical free will argument.
