I can comprehend the notion that QM does not work in a deterministic way, but I find it hard to get my head around how that exactly affects the cause-and-effect day to day workings of a human being?
My point is; does a stochastic view bring 'free will' anymore into the equation than a deterministic one>
A good question! AFAIK, nobody knows! I surmise that the probabilitic nature of some events at the molecular level in neurons create the possibility of otherwise impossible generation of random signals that don't come from the background of neighbouring neural activity.
