User Illusion: Fundamentals and Applications

The user illusion is a metaphor for a proposed description of consciousness that is used in the field of philosophy of mind. This description contends that conscious experience does not expose objective reality, but rather provides a simplified version of reality that enables humans to make decisions and act in their environment, analogous to the desktop of a computer. In other words, it argues that conscious experience does not reveal reality. According to this representation, our view of the world is not instantaneous since the processing of each sensation takes some amount of time. Therefore, our conscious experience is less of a perfect reflection of what is taking place and more of a simulation that is being constructed unintentionally by the brain. As a result, it is possible that there are phenomena that exist beyond our peripheries, beyond what consciousness could construct in order to isolate or diminish them.
