our brains are wired for survival entirely based on observations we don't even realize our brains are making. a good study of this tested people with TBIs that severed their left and right hemispheres, thus making them independent lobes that could not directly communicate (or so scientists thought). the study would show people two pictures to each eye independently. the subjects could only see one. when asked questions about the picture they would reference the one they couldn't see. for example: picture one was of a chicken coop, and picture two was of a snow shovel. when asked how they would clean the coop, the subject answered "snow shovel". when asked why a "snow shovel" the subject became confused and sometimes frustrated because they couldn't express why they didn't just say "shovel". study found that even though you can't comprehend everything around you, that doesn't mean your brain is unaware of everything around you. some people are more in-tune with this and seem to have a sixth sense, when in reality everyone has the ability to they just failed to train their access to it.
