I've even noticed my brain doing this after I did something out of muscle memory or reflex. It happens a lot in the game Rocket League, where I mostly operate on game sense instead of logical thought. Sometimes I do something and then scramble to find a logical reasoning for my actions. But the truth is that the part of the brain that takes the action does so before the rest of the brain has any say in it, so there often isn't any logical explanation.
