Ever had feeling that you've been here before?
As you've already seen this? and the feeling ahh so overwhelming.
The creepy feeling that you’ve been here and done this before is called déjà vu. It’s a French word for “already seen,” and it can be a very strange and even unsettling experience.
Déjà vu is a common experience — about two-thirds of people have had it.
There are a few theories, though, about what might lead to this “glitch” in the brain.
Memory is stored in a part of your brain called the temporal lobe. Long-term memories, events, and facts are all pushed right to that area of the brain.
Specific parts of the temporal lobe also play a role in recognizing something as familiar.
People who have suffered from temporal lobe epilepsy — a condition where the nerve cell activity is disturbed, causing a seizure — have reported experiencing déjà vu right before a seizure. The common factor is the temporal lobe, forming the connection between déjà vu and memory.
