THE FEELING OF CERTAINTY THAT ONE HAS ALREADY WITNESSED OR EXPERIENCED A CURRENT SITUATION IS CALLED "DÉJÀ VU", LITERALLY "ALREADY SEEN", OR ALSO CALLED "PARAMNESIAS". THE TERM WAS COINED BY A FRENCH PSYCHIC RESEARCHER, ÉMILE BOIRAC. THERE ARE MORE THAN 30 SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS OF THIS PHENOMENON. THE EXPLANATION THAT HAS MOSTLY BEEN ACCEPTED IS NOT THAT IT IS AN ACT OF "PRECOGNITION" OR "PROPHECY", BUT THAT IT IS AN ANOMALY OF MEMORY, GIVING THE FALSE IMPRESSION THAT AN EXPERIENCE IS "BEING RECALLED". IN PARTICULAR, THIS MAY RESULT FROM AN OVERLAP BETWEEN THE NEUROGICAL SYSTEMS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHORT-TERM MEMORY AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR LONG-TERM MEMORY. SOME RESEARCHERS ESTABLISHED A LINK BETWEEN "DÉJÀ VU" AND TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPSY. PROFESSOR |
