A note for Lesson no. 4, "Your Brain Predicts (Almost) Everything You Do," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 65 is:

Your view of the world is no photograph. It’s a construction of your brain...

Tons of papers address this topic. Here are some examples.

  • The basic neuroscience:[1][2]
  • Reviews of interesting scientific findings[3][4][5]
