However, since the brain is the person, and the brain causes the action, it's still 'free' for the brain. The real debate should be about the definition of free will, I think. It sounds like most of the people here are getting hung up on the definition rather than the consenus.
How so? Name me one 'action' that any single neuron in the brain can make that isn't a result of an interaction with various other stimuli.
