What are reasons? - Walter Sinnott-Armstrong II. Questions from Philosophers for Neuroscientists 16. What are the main stages in the neural processes that produce actions? - Patrick Haggard & Elisabeth Parés-Pujolràs 17. Does the will correspond to any clearly delineated brain area or activity? - Gabriel Kreiman 18. How are the neural processes for deciding when to move similar and different from those for deciding what or how to move? - Antonio Ivano Triggiani & Mark Hallett 19. How are arbitrary and deliberate decisions similar and different? - Jye Bold, Liad Mudrik, & Uri Maoz 20. How do higher-level brain areas exert control over lower-level brain areas? - Mark Hallett 21. What are intentional actions? - Elisabeth Parés-Pujolràs & Patrick Haggard 22. What evidence is there that intentions are represented in the brain? - John-Dylan Haynes 23. What is known about the neural correlates of specific beliefs and desires that inform human choices? - Amber Hopkins & Uri Maoz 24. How can we determine whether or not an agent is conscious of a bit of information relevant to an action? - Liad Mudrik & Aaron Schurger 25. Which neural mechanisms could enable conscious control of action? - Jake Gavenas, Mark Hallett, & Uri Maoz 26. How does the absence of a consensus about the neural basis of consciousness and volition affect theorizing about conscious volition? - Amber Hopkins, Liad Mudrik, & Uri Maoz 27. How can we determine the precise timing of brain events related to action? - Mark Hallett & Aaron Schurger 28. How can we determine the precise timing of mental events related to action? - Sae Jin Lee, Sook Mun (Alice) Wong, Uri Maoz, & Mark Hallett 29.
