Benjamin Libet decided to approach the concept of free will through experimentation. He was interested in determining whether or not we have any independence when it comes to our choices and actions, or whether what we assume is our own is, instead, determined by the known physical laws. To do this, Libet had subjects voluntarily flick or move their wrist whenever the urge to do so was present. They were also told to look at a modified faster moving clock and record the exact moment when the urge
The philosophical term free will explains how we are free to choose our actions, and be in control of our behaviors. The determinist approach explains how our actions and behaviors can be predictable because they are caused by prior factors, like our organization.
