Have you ever been in a conversation, say at a party, and not been able to make out what someone just said, only to figure it out just as you asked them what they just said? I just found out what the mechanism for this is.
The brain (your brain) has the ability to playback things that just happened. It can literally replay the sensory impulses a second time, so that it can be better comprehended.
I just thought this was amazing. It explains a lot, for me at least.
