Whatever free will is, it is very doubtful that it depends on
consciousness. See Daniel Dennett's dicussion of the Grey Walter carousel
experiment. This experiment shows (although there is a little ambiguity
left) that free will decisions occure *before* on is conscious of them.

  The freedom of the will consists in the fact that future actions cannot
be known now.
