Definition
Deja Vu is a phenomenon that consists of someone having a feeling of already experiencing a certain situation
The Effects On The Brain
Deja Vu happens when your brains sensory input and memory recalling output get mixed up causing a person to think that they have done something but actually haven't. This is because of the stimulation of the rhinal cortex. Also the Neural firing from the rhinal cortex to the hippocampus (Memory) is increased during Deja Vu which is induced by electrical stimulation
Research and Experiments
Researchers from the Colorado state university said that deja vu can be linked to the recognition memory which lets our body know familiar smells, tastes, feelings, etc. This gets mixed up with the familiar recognition part of the brain which makes us feel as if we have done something but cant remember when it was that we did it. There was an experiment done by John Galt who wrote a book about himself embracing Deja Vu instead of trying to block it out. He explains how it actually helped him in many ways instead of the other way around.
