Daniel M. Wegner is an American social psychologist. He is a professor of psychology at Harvard University and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is known for his work on mental control (e.g., thought suppression) and conscious will, and for originating the study of transactive memory and action identification. His book, The Illusion of Conscious Will, tackles the long-debated notion of free will through the scope of experimental psychology. Wegner's ideas have sparked interest among psychologists, neuroscientists, theologians, and philosophers interested in the nature of consciousness and freedom of action.
