Can your brain falsify information?

Self delusion is common enough, and some people are dyslexic--but being dyslexic myself, i've never known to "invent" entire sentences. Also, part of the method of overcoming dyslexia is to pay close attention to context. If something doesn't seem right, you re-read the passage until you find your error. Whether it were in print or online wouldn't matter. To repeat, though, i've never known it to "invent" entire sentences.

We misperceive all kinds of things in all kinds of situations. Think of unreliability of eyewitness accounts. As Setanta said, paying close attention to what you're reading can lessen the odds of misreading. Frequently, while skimming the newspaper, I'll misread a headline, see a word that's not the actual word, or pause at the wrong place, with the wrong emphasis or an alternate pronunciation..

Picture puzzles are a rich source of ambiguity. Which is the negative space, which is the figure. We can all be our own unreliable narrators.

Mental misperceptions happen all over the place. I once thought I was married to someone but it turned out it was all in my mind.

Myself, I was a little stunned after experiencing the McGurk effect while viewing the video below.
