What if our soundest, most reasonable judgments are beyond our control? Are the feelings of being rational and having free will generated by conscious decisions or involuntary brain mechanisms?

Burton, author of A Skeptic's Guide to the Mind, reveals what neuroscience can (and cannot) tell us about ourselves.
