Your body starts moving about eighty milliseconds before your brain has finished deciding anything. I have driven across this country more than twenty times, and twice now I have felt it happen.
What you seem to be describing is the rare brain of a Highly Sensitive Person.

The Birth of Intuition
"Dr. Elaine Aron explains a Highly Sensitive Person's (HSP) apparent ability to "foretell the future" not as magic or literal psychic power, but as deep subconscious processing and extreme awareness of subtle environmental cues. When an HSP seems to predict what will happen next, it is actually fast, silent pattern recognition at work.
The Mechanism of HSP "Foretelling"Depth of Processing (The 'D' in DOES): HSP brains automatically reflect on, elaborate, and make complex associations with current data based on past experiences.
Sensing the Subtleties (The 'S' in DOES): They notice micro-expressions, shifts in tone, room energy, and small physical changes that others completely miss.
The Birth of Intuition: When this massive amount of subtle data is processed below the level of conscious awareness, the conclusion suddenly "pops" into the mind, appearing like a glimpse into the future.
Why It Looks Like Predicting the Future
Connecting Dots Early: Because an HSP registers a tiny warning sign or a subtle behavioral shift hours or days early, they anticipate the logical outcome before anyone else does.
Not Infallible: Dr. Aron notes that while this rapid intuition is usually accurate, it is still just an unconscious calculation and can occasionally be wrong or influenced by past anxieties."
"Dr. Elaine Aron defines the brain of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) as having an innate, biologically different nervous system. This trait, called Sensory-Processing Sensitivity (SPS), means the brain physically pauses to process information, physical input, and emotional signals much more deeply than average.
The Biological Basis
Deeper processing: The HSP brain pauses to reflect and elaborate on data before acting. This happens often below conscious awareness, emerging as strong intuition.
Greater activation: Brain scans (like fMRI) show higher blood flow and activity in areas tied to attention, perception of subtle differences, and empathy.
Evolutionary strategy: Aron views high sensitivity as an innate survival strategy found in over 100 species—observing carefully before acting rather than rushing in."
Intresting that you took this article that way. My intention was trying to understand how the brain may be communicating and coordinating faster than “lock and Key” and neuronal mechanisms.
Yes, but are you thinking that all people's brains and nervous systems are created equally?
HSP is very different. And varies. I'm HSP, which most tend to seem to be shy and Introverted. There is a small percentage of HSP, a subset, called High Sensory Seeking (formerly known as High Flyers.) I'm a High Flyer, a rare Omnivert. I swing between Introvert and Extrovert. Everything about me is uncommon, except my appearance.
This is the part I was thinking of:
"Deeper processing: The HSP brain pauses to reflect and elaborate on data before acting. This happens often below conscious awareness, emerging as strong intuition."
Not at all. I just did not write this article with HSP individuals in mind. And a "pause and deeper reflection" on data would seem to be a slower mechanism. I was interested in speed and simultaneity. But please correct me if I am missing something

Great article ! We must be hive- minding ! My article I released today , The Architecture of Alarm touched on similar findings :))
