Scientists have finally explained why there is a feeling of deja vu

Scientists have to have a new explanation for one of the strangest features of the brain - a sense of deja vu. Scottish Professor Akira O'Connor (Akira O'Connor) believes that the so-called glitch in the matrix only check on the accuracy of the facts, which is run by our own brain.







To prove this theory, O'Connor spent a series of experiments, artificially inducing a feeling of deja vu. To do this, he gave the study participants listen to a series of words, which are connected by one common, especially missed the concept. For example, in a "cushion" chain, "bed", "Night" is not the word "sleep».

Participants of the experiment, listen to a chain of words, immediately asked if they had heard the word with the letter "c". The answer was negative. Later, however, they again asked the same question, and the most popular answer was the word "sleep". People began to feel that they have heard the word, because it is very logical fit into the proposed sequence. < The brain was the "think out" for members of their own memories of the experiment. It was at this moment, they have experienced a strong feeling of deja vu.







Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, scientists have found that at this moment the most actively working areas of the brain associated with decision-making and not the memories.

O'Connor suggested that déjà vu during those parts of the brain trace our memories and look for errors. Once they "stumble" on the irregularity, it is immediately activated, and in the meantime we feel an eerie feeling that this has happened to us.







According to other researchers, Stefan Köhler (Stefan Köhler) from Canada, «déjà vu may be a consequence of the resolution of conflict in our brain».

To confirm the theory, you need to collect many more data, but if it would be true, then the phenomenon of déjà vu will be finally solved. By then it will be understood by the brain check the quality of our memories and identify discrepancies between what we really remember and what we think that we remember.
