WHY DO WE GET DÉJÀ VU?

Why do we get déjà vu? 🌀🧠 Beskrivning: 🌀 You walk into a place for the first time, and it feels strangely familiar. Is it memory, or a glitch? 🤔 In this episode of Why & Because, Otto and psychology expert Professor Alva Lindström go through what researchers actually know about déjà vu. 🔍 🧠 In this video you'll discover: 🇫🇷 What "déjà vu" means and how strong the feeling can be 📊 How common it is: a major 2003 review found about 60 percent of people have experienced it (estimates vary) 🔮 Why researchers treat it as a memory phenomenon, with no good evidence for premonitions or past lives 🏘️ The 2012 virtual-reality study where scenes with the same layout triggered more déjà vu ⚡ The link to temporal lobe epilepsy, and why that doesn't explain everyday déjà vu 🧩 The four families of explanation: dual processing, neurological, memory and attention 🤷 What scientists still don't know: the trigger in healthy people ("we don't know yet") 📚 Studies mentioned: • Brown (2003), "A Review of the Déjà Vu Experience", Psychological Bulletin • Cleary et al.
