They state that fairly explicitly:

So yeah, the "perception" is a memory, and the processing happens in near real-time.

This also seems to tie well with the research on visual perception that states that much of what we "see" is a projection of the brain based on things we have seen in the past (like how you see a face when you look at a power outlet.)

I am not at all even a hobbyist on this topic though.
