Your Brain’s Half-Second Prediction

Your brain is lying to you… right now. You don’t actually see the world in real time.

There’s a small delay between reality and what reaches your eyes. To hide that delay,

your brain cheats. It constantly predicts what’s about to happen — roughly half a second into

the future. That means what you’re seeing already happened. Your brain just

fills in the gap to keep everything feeling smooth. But sometimes, the prediction doesn’t

line up perfectly. And when that happens… you feel déjà vu. Reality isn’t exactly what you see —

it’s your brain’s best guess
