Steals from both the recent past and the immediate future

 

“By taking advantage of the window of time required for processing incoming sensory data before outputting it as perception, discordant brain time and "external " time are realigned to allow for perception to create a seamless world of "now." It has been estimated that the brain routinely can smooth out the discrepancies by backward projection of the second image by as much as 120 milliseconds. According to this bizarre but necessary neurophysiology, "being in the moment " is a virtual recipe that steals from both the recent past and the immediate future.“
