I first heard the idea of a "Psychology-Forum" from you btw, so this is as much your creation.

Definately a vote of support here. It would be the perfect forum to discuss a story like this:

Sort of like the retinal blind spot or peripheral vision being "filled-in" subconsciously, only weirder as it's done in anticipation of events.
Read the whole thing. Or start a thread. 'Cuz I start threads about as often as I mow the sidewalk.

Humans can see into the future, says a cognitive scientist. It's nothing like the alleged predictive powers of Nostradamus, but we do get a glimpse of events one-tenth of a second before they occur.
And the mechanism behind that can also explain why we are tricked by optical illusions.
Researcher Mark Changizi of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York says it starts with a neural lag that most everyone experiences while awake. When light hits your retina, about one-tenth of a second goes by before the brain translates the signal into a visual perception of the world.
Scientists already knew about the lag, yet they have debated over exactly how we compensate, with one school of thought proposing our motor system somehow modifies our movements to offset the delay.
