    We can now observe brain computation through fMRI and EEG techniques and observe the unconscious neural processing on sentences, experiences, actions, etc.

    Scientific consensus in modern neuroscience aligns with the Freudian idea that most cognitive processes occur outside of conscious awarenes

    people often make decisions or form intentions before they are consciously aware of them, which connects to Freud’s belief that unconscious thoughts influence behaviour. The author argues that lying can result from hidden mental conflicts and processes happening in the brain. Overall, the article claims that even though Freud’s theories are debated, modern studies of the mind show that some of his ideas about unconscious influence may have been correct.

    I agree that most brain processing happens unconsciously. Sigmund Freud explained that the mind works like an iceberg, where only a small part is conscious and the larger part is unconscious and the article explains that in Mendaciology, which studies lying and how the brain processes information, most mental activity happens without us being aware of it. Our thoughts, emotions, and past experiences in the unconscious mind can influence our behaviour and our decisions. This just shows us that the unconscious mind plays a big role in how the brain works.

    This is a major finding of Mendaciology. Lies rely on the parallel processing of predications surrounding the asserted predications that are spoken or understood.

    Sigmund Freud suggested that most of the mind works unconsciously, meaning many thoughts, feelings, and memories influence us without us realizing it. Modern psychology and neuroscience also agree that a large amount of brain processing happens automatically, with things like breathing, habits,and quick decisions. But also some of Freud’s original ideas aren’t like fully supported by modern scientific research, because conscious thinking also plays a big role in deliberate decisions

    Self deception and self justification of actions also falls into this, because 9 out of 10 times, you’d truly believe something that’s a lie if you tell yourself it’s the truth enough times, because once you reach the threshold where it becomes a true belief, you enter a new state of delusion and continue living your version of reality even though deep down you know it’s not true, it just becomes severely suppressed.
