Without having a brain, we can’t imagine and live like we are presently doing. Imagine a world where humans live without brains. I think they were nothing but blank paper. Our brain does a lot of thinking, in fact, in seconds we think of hundreds of imaginations that we don’t even know. At some moments, you have experienced that your brain behaves pretty strangely. Here are ten normal things your brain does but feel actually strange.
Fills In Missing Details

You may have taken a pause in life but never your brain. It is because something in every second is some sort of thinking going on. In simple terms, people often keep thinking continuously about what is happening, planning, remembering past experience and so on.
Imagines Conversations That Never Happened

This feels actually pretty strange when you imagine conversations that never happened and it is just our brain that processes those things with pictures. Mostly fictional because it is created automatically.
Recalls Memories Incorrectly

Our brain can remember various things but barely remember accurately. With so much drama ongoing everyday, our brain gets puzzled and blends real details with assumptions, emotions, and new information.
Wakes You Up Right Before The Alarm

Recognizes Faces In Random Patterns

Our brain also acts as a face recognition and when you see a face on a billboard or a potato chip, it remembers that face, and even a skilled person can draw a nice picture at once instance.

Remembers Embarrassing Moments Too Clearly

There are many moments that stamp in our brain for a long time. It remembers those moments too clearly because it saves effectively. Whether that’s an embarrassing moment or a happy moment, you remember it clearly.
Creates Phantom Sensations

It happens occasionally when you sense someone near you when no one is around. These phantom sensations happen because your brain is constantly predicting. This builds a logical pattern in your mind without inferring any input.
