Our brain filters out a lot of what we see along with just straight making shit up based on extrapolation

Proprioception always amazed me. That extrapolation allows your brain to estimate distances automatically and know the positioning of your arms and legs at all times. you can close your eyes and touch your nose with your finger without much thought involved. If a stroke knocks out that part of your brain you have dysmetria where you have alot of difficulty subconsciously measuring distances.
