Each of the following claims has been defended in the scientific literature on free will and consciousness: your brain routinely decides what you will do before you become conscious of its decision, there is only a 100 millisecond window of opportunity for free will, and all it can do is veto conscious decisions, intentions, or urges, intentions never play a role in producing corresponding actions, and free will is an illusion. In EFFECTIVE INTENTIONS Alfred Mele shows that the evidence offered to support these claims is sorely deficient.
