Very good, Hydra, you are partly right.

But the superior colliculus is but a small part of a larger equation.

Ever forget a name and then later it pops into your forebrain without preamble? A set mechanism has evolved in our subconscious operating system which allows our cognitive mechanisms to select as needed from the jumble of the surrounding enviorment in order to enhance our survival.

Try this: Each day wait until some odd name or odd number or odd event repeats itself...then wait...it will threepeat.

But here is a more philosophical question...are that which we call we merely the sensing mechanisms of our own subconscious or are we the we that is in control?

Good question.
