I can’t even imagine how one could design an empirical study of whether human free will is caused by quantum effects.
Creating a control group of humans in a parallel universe that runs on classical physics, is already a great technical challenge, but assuming we have done so… how would we test whether they have free will?
(More generally, how does one empirically check whether something that is undefined depends on something that is omnipresent?)
Even if we ignore the “quantum” part of the thing, how does one empirically test whether something has a free will or not? Do actual humans pass this test? All of them, or only the neurotypical ones?
I think you might have misunderstood the question: I’m primarily asking about work done on points 1 and 2 listed in the question test, which don’t mention ‘free will’.
