To mark the end of the Year of Science ‘Freedom’, we are dedicating this issue to freedom of choice. We explore the question of whether free will exists and, if so, what could constitute it. Neurobiology is also investigating this with ever new approaches. How free we are in our decisions is also a topic of research in the context of choosing a partner.
