Hmmm ... growing up I had a friend that completely believed his own lies. And if you were present for some memorable event, you couldn't convince him that his memory of that event was incorrect. I'm guessing he was missing that fold!
And in some other discussion about this research, somewhere else, your friend is recounting the exact same conjecture... about you.
How could he possibly say that ... I've never lied ;)
That one's gonna keep me up at night.
LINKED:

"Not So Fast: The study only shows that the PCS and reality monitoring are linked, not that the presence or absence of the PCS is what causes some people to be better than others at this sort of memory task. It could be that another factor in brain development causes both small PCS and poor reality monitoring, for instance." (from the article)

I think the "Not So Fast" section was my favorite part of the article. You rarely see these reminders that science is a work in progress in popular science reporting. Particularly with regards to medicine, too often I see too much hype over the results of a single unrepeated study.
Am I the only who said to myself that this could have been discovered easily with some data mining on MRI pictures of patients with this disorder.. ?
You can't even read the paper, talk about publicly-funded research ...
Is that whats wrong with me!!!

Wow thats interesting reminds me of a show on TV while back the brain in love. It too had some very interesting scans and info on the brain.

Only the world in our imaginations exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealism

The real world and the world in our imagniations exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism_(philosophy_of_mind)

Only the real world exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialism

Philosophers have long discussed material and ideal realms. There's the world as it is and the world as it appears. Anyone who has no spiritual experiences is a worthless peon. The movie American Beauty has a scene where a neighbor thought he saw a homosexual act, but it was a drug deal. Reality can depend on perspective. A radio show can draw-you-in by including a detail from your life.

If you are not confused you are like the 1984 proletariets.

Heaven is a delusional reality on top of regular reality.

I cannot help you understand, though.

each other, sometimes to an almost incredible degree, and are thus divided into two or even three castes. The castes, moreover, do not generally graduate into each other, but are perfectly well defined; being as distinct from each other as are any two species of the same genus, or rather as any two genera of the same family. Thus, in Eciton, there are working and soldier neuters, with jaws and instincts extraordinarily different: in Cryptocerus, the workers of one caste alone carry a wonderful s

So, my download numbers seem suspicious, after I've filtered them. And, I get no emails but FBI stoodges. Well, the whole media talks to me... surprise, surprise -- not in Kansas any longer, so no surprise my download numbers are bogus. My reality is any number of possibilities -- some kind of prison like the 1960's prinsoner's show. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner

I'm kind-of in charge of my bogus reality. Bible says you will determine what sins are forgiven and what stand. Bible kinda promises governorship of a realm.

efore, during the modification of the descendants of any one species, and during the incessant struggle of all species to increase in numbers, the more diversified the descendants become, the better will be their chance of success in the battle for life. Thus the small differences distinguishing varieties of the same species, steadily tend to increase, till they equal the greater differences between species of the same genus, or even of distinct genera.

We have seen that it is the common, the wid
