Reply to comment by uncoolcentral in Conscious Reality Is Only a Memory of Unconscious Actions, Scientists Propose In Radical New Theory by mossadnik

Does that mean that what we perceive to be consciousness is actually just reliving our pasts? For example, have I already posted this and am doing something else right now, and although I think I'm writing it in real time, I'm just remembering myself writing it?

More like piecing together events.

Yes, I think this is what they are saying. The delay between your actual subconscious action and when you actually perceive it is only half a second though. Still, a pretty mind boggling theory.
