The best way to find whether we humans do have free will or not is by understanding more about how actually our brain functions. Is there any particular way that if electrical signals can make someone take decisions in a particular way.

I would prefer the reasonable, non-alarmist approach.

It’s said that extraordinary claims, require extraordinary proof. They also likely attract extraordinary reaction. If the object of science is to understand, not to win arguments, then a reasoned, non-alarmist interpretation of the data is more likely to advance our knowledge, and encourage further study.
