Psychophysical evidence from Eagleman and Sejnowski (2000) supports post-diction as the actual neural mechanism underlying the flash-lag effect, making extensional post-dictive accounts empirically competitive with retentional ones.

Eagleman and Sejnowski(researchers cited as sources): Two neuroscientists (David Eagleman and Terrence Sejnowski) who conducted influential experiments on how our brains process timing and visual perception.
Empirically competitive(describing the relationship between the two theories): Two explanations are equally supported by scientific evidence and testing, making both of them scientifically viable.
Post-diction(the main neural mechanism being discussed): The brain's ability to unconsciously 'fill in' or rewrite what you perceive *after* it actually happens, rather than perceiving it in real-time.
Psychophysical evidence(as used in philosophy of mind and perception): Scientific research about how physical things in the world (like light intensity) relate to what our minds actually experience (like brightness).
