====== Déjà vu ======

//Déjà vu// - from 'already seen' in French - is the feeling that one has experienced, or even 'lived through' a particular situation before - but accompanied by the belief that, in reality, one hasn't.

>It is an anomaly of memory whereby, despite the strong sense of recollection, the time, place, and practical context of the "previous" experience are uncertain or believed to be impossible.\\ \\ Source [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu|Wikipedia]]

//Déjà vu //experiences are commonplace - around 60% of the population report they have experienced them at some point. Researchers have been trying to find explanations for more than a century.

The current mainstream theories include the :

  * Split perception explanation
  * Memory-based explanation
  * Dream-based explanations

//Note: //Since the development of electronic brain-monitoring technology there have many more experimental investigations. Despite this, to date, there are still no widely accepted explanations.
