If you play videogames, you may have noticed the phenomenon where you lose the game because you failed to press the button at the right time - but you are 100% sure that you did in fact press the button at the right time. Apparently this is a well documented phenomenon (even though you pressed the button a few hundredths of a second too late, your brain is persuaded you pressed it correctly), and it blew my mind when I first read about it. Now when it happens to me I'm deeply aware of it, but it's still a little surreal (and frightening) to realize that our brains are indeed very fallible.
