Here. Eliezer Sternberg is interviewed on the occasion of the publication of his new book My Brain Made Me Do It. Sternberg complains that neuroscience labs don't like to think about philosophical concepts like free will but he's not like that. Given that claim, you'd think he would have made an effort to understand the philosophical debate, but there is no evidence of that here.

Neil - Even we neurobiologists can recognize that you are utterly correct, at least as far as the promo piece in SciAm is concerned. Of course, I would need to read the book to know for certain...
