Abstract In the pursuit of decoding the neural functions and the corresponding brain activities, the undergoing mechanisms, and the understanding of the dynamic nature of these systems, an exponential amount of empirical data and theoritical interpretation attempts of those data emerge. The current study does not pertain to such explanational aspirations as a whole, but focuses to the free will problem that is challenged, and to the directly affected notions of moral and legal responsibility. The neurobiological aspects of moral reasoning, judging, decision-making processes, and behaviour in general, consist wholly or partially in an attempt to reduce morality into simple or complicated empirical data. The implication of an evaluative judgement straight from a descriptive one without the addendum-mediation of an evaluative premise in the endeavour of naturalization the notion of “good”, hence the extrapolation of normative (moral) conclusions directly reducible to empirical data, empowers the correlation between “is” and “must”, posing inquiries for the self- determination of free agents and the ability of acting otherwise. The extent to which science has penetrated human brain allowed numerous empirical researchers to study issues even like the very notion of free will. If, according to many neuroscientists, we are our brain, and our brain is nothing more but a cluster or a gallimaufry of neural cells, which in addition are wired to genetic information, which in turn has been determined partly genetically and partly during the upbringing and refinement of the organism, the question posed is simple, yet complicated. What happens with free will?
