How Artificial Intelligence Can Explain Unconscious Decision-Making

If I drive through a stop sign, I might protest to the traffic officer that "I didn't notice it," or "it was blocked by a tree," or "I thought it was a red flag." And those claims might be perfectly true from what I remember of my experience: nothing feels more natural than explaining a mistake. But as plausible as these explanations may sound, the officer shouldn't believe them. The truth is that even I don't know the source of my error. This is because the real explanation had something to do with computations performed by my brain.
