A Sense of Free Will: requires a properly functioning brain (Introduction)

I assume the reason you have pursued this article so closely is the author's probable belief system is yours also.
Not at all, I am just trying to understand your disagreement with the piece.-> I don't think one can use the deranged brain to conclude that. My brain and I work in harmony with each other. 
My understanding of your position might be somewhat limited, but I'm sure your radio analogy might point to having an "improperly" functioning brain might interfere with consciousness and consequently the sense of free will and self?-> As I work on a new project its plasticity provides a new area of neurons to handle the load. It provides patterns to help me discern reality. 
This brain plasticity is purely unconscious is it not?-> I've accepted that as a reasonable compromise for a biologic computer at the basis of my consciousness. I frankly don't know how else it could work. 
Therefore a god did it? -> I guess you'd call me a pragmatist.
Not really David.
