Reminds me a lot of the split brain phenomena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-brain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-brain).
"Split-brain patients may sometimes confabulate a rational account of their behavior, if the true motivations cannot be reported since they may depend on processing in the linguistically inaccessible right side of the brain."
For example, when they are shown a picture of a door in their left visual visual field, they will get up and walk towards the door. When asked why, they will always have an unrelated reason (e.g., to get a glass of water), and are unaware of the visual cue.
