Studio Toriumi
A standing collection of research on free will, pulled from Crossref by author. It is deliberately weighted toward the side arguing against hard determinism — and says so on the page, rather than pretending to be neutral. The leading sceptics are listed in the same place, because reading only one side leaves you unable to see your own footing.
Open the tracker JASplit into three camps and labelled: defenders of free will, empirical researchers, and sceptics. Kevin Mitchell, Christian List, Helen Steward and Jenann Ismael on one side; Robert Sapolsky, Derk Pereboom and Gregg Caruso on the other.
The clock spins, you press, you mark where you felt the decision happen — and the page places that against the readiness potential at −550ms. Then it draws Schurger's stochastic accumulator model on a canvas, showing why averaging backwards from the moment of action necessarily produces a rising curve.
Collected from Crossref, deduplicated by DOI, grouped by camp. Titles and abstracts are in English.
Six general-audience books covering both sides, because the papers make much more sense afterwards.
The framing text is in Japanese, but every paper title, author name and abstract is in English, and the Libet experiment is interactive rather than textual — it works regardless of the language you read. A full English edition is planned.
We don't machine-translate pages and publish them as if they were written in English. When an English edition exists, it has been written in English. Until then, this page tells you honestly what is on the other side of the link.
Everything on this site is free and has no paywall, in either language.
