Why is the title clickbait? What were you expecting - that the philosopher had proposed a model of consciousness that got experimental confirmation?

My immediate thought upon reading the title was, “there’s no way they have proven free will to be a thing”.

And follow up thoughts were along the lines of “did we uncover some fundamental truth of the brain?”.

I got flagged and cant respond, yet again.

What does free will have to do with this?

Honestly, yes. Or at least some semblance of progress in the field.
