(ie. when you hear something, it actually happened half a second earlier.) During this half-second, your brain is processing the signal and setting up all sorts of responses that are ready to kick in when perception of the event hits. This is a possible explanation for deja-vue (however you spell it.) Anybody have any references on this? -Steve McIntosh, Kontron electronics, Irvine CA
