      No just an exaggerated tittle.

      The article makes it clear. The experiment just suggest free will is more mentally taxing and calculated then random will.

        I read the article, I mean how they decided to stimulate brain activity for making a choice by… choosing colored balloons?

        And they were surprised the subjects brains responded almost exactly the same? That means… nothing. Everything that comes after is speculation and pseudoscience.
