Your Brain Lies to You

False beliefs are everywhere. Eighteen percent of Americans think the sun revolves around the earth, one poll has found. Thus it seems slightly less egregious that, according to another poll, 10 percent of us think that Senator Barack Obama, a Christian, is instead a Muslim. The Obama campaign has created a Web site to dispel misinformation. But this effort may be more difficult than it seems, thanks to the quirky way in which our brains store memories — and mislead us along the way.

  • Brain's a big fat liar...You have to know this even to begin to sort through the ad campaigns, first impressions and song lyrics constantly popping into consciousness. Then there's the subconscious messing with the ur-conscious, playing with the unconscious, not to mention the brief semiconscious hallucinatory states in the 8th hour of work. Good luck to us all.
