Free will and quantum mechanics (For Dr. Haarsma and anyone for that matter)

I have learned as someone has pointed out that the idea of free will is kind of a grey area. One book that you might be interested in (and I am reading it right now my self) is by Walter J. Freeman J.r., he is a neuroscientist at Berkley. One of the most best in the country probably. The book is called "How Brains Make Up Their Minds" and I have not run into any QM in the book. I would like to see some different approaches to the free-will issue besides quantum approaches although I still find the quantum approaches terribly interesting. Quantum approaches have been around for a while. One is the Eccles/Beck approach. Eccles being one of the greatest neurophysiologist of the century and Beck a quantum physicist. Dr. Haarsma you of course know this issue gives me some troubles as I have e-mailed you privatly before.

Thanks a bunch,
John
