Jamais vu can cause artificially





Jamais vu (Jamais vu - never seen) - the opposite feeling when being in familiar surroundings, situation, surrounded by familiar people, a person suddenly begins to feel as if for the first time all it sees. Kind of jamais vu occurs when uttered or written word suddenly seems quite a while unknown and it is unclear which means.

At the International Conference of Memory in Sydney, Chris Moulin from Leeds University asked 92 volunteers to write x on a piece of paper the word "door" 30 times in 60 seconds as an experiment. As a result, 68% of subjects showed symptoms of jamais vu, and began to doubt that the "door" - is now an existing word. Dr Moulin believes that this is due to the fact that the brain is experiencing fatigue.

In the experiment, there is nothing dangerous, so you can try to hold its own.
