News article regarding free will

Free will might have been the province of philosophers until now, but we’ve cracked the problem with an fMRI. Neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins report in the journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics that they were able to see both what happens in a human brain the moment a free choice is made, and what happens during the lead-up to that decision — how activity in the brain changes during the deliberation over whether to act.-extremetech source

A news article on "free will" activity on the brain.   While it's not obviously free, there is activity vinculated to actions that feel like free choices, part of that activity probably generates the feeling of free will also.
