Probably, some of us felt as if we had already been in this place, although we were sure that we had never even visited this city, or that the conversation had already once been present, but where and when, it is impossible to remember specifically … This phenomenon is called the déjà vu effect.
Literally translated from French, déjà vu is interpreted as “once experienced”, “previously heard”, “never seen”. Generally speaking, deja vu is a state in which people feel as if they have been here before.
Despite a lot of research, scientists cannot come to an unambiguous opinion, research continues, scientific disputes, new versions arise. The complexity of the experiments lies in the fact that it is impossible to simulate an artificial situation of déjà vu.
From a medical point of view, the effect of déjà vu is associated with a malfunction in the brain, and more specifically, its temporal lobe, which is responsible for similar human thinking. In the temporal lobe, memories are associated with events taking place in our time. Scientists believe that mental fatigue, increased physical fatigue, increased depression, and so on are the cause of the malfunctioning of the brain. In addition, neurologists believe that the effect of deja vu can be triggered by natural changes, for example, increased solar activity, severe frosts, sweltering heat, or a sharp decrease / increase in atmospheric pressure.
- according to esotericists, the effect of déjà vu is the receipt of information sent by our ancestors. But how can you get information from your ancestors, if they with a probability of 100% were not in this place and could not even guess about real events?
- it is believed that a person, finding himself in a difficult situation, tries to find a way out or various solutions to problems. The brain cannot cope and find suitable solutions and invents new ones, but through the effect of déjà vu it passes them off as old, already familiar ones;
- short-term contact with a parallel reality or travel in time.
Despite the contradictions of all versions, scientists are inclined to believe that the brain, even in a dream, forms a model of this or that behavior, in a particular situation, and when a similar situation happens in reality, that person perceives it as repetitive.
