The really scary thing is we all 'live' in the past by a about a couple of hundred milliseconds. It takes this long for our sensory input to be registered in our pre frontal lobes.

We have auto systems that can overcome this temporal limitation. Involuntary eye blink for example. Or your instant withdrawal from painful stimuli that is part of your nervous system but is not registered by the brain until after the event.

Concert pianists hands are playing the notes before any signal can possibly be sent from the eye brain system reading the notes. It is as if an automaton is anticipating the non existent signals. Very good batsmen or women in cricket have this same skill. F1 drivers etc. There is far more evidence.

It is called practice, practice. practice until it becomes automatic!
