PSY 105 Week 2 Discussion

Do you have free will? Or does your brain chemistry make decisions for you?

 

This week you’re learning about the electrochemical reactions that happen every time you think, feel, sense, or act. So does that mean you are not in charge? Does body chemistry direct your choices and eliminate your control?

This TED video explains the specific ways caffeine affects your mood, alertness, and performance, all through your nervous system. Watch it and then write a post offering your opinion: Free will, or brain chemistry? Or is there some way to reconcile the two?
