We must have all experienced it. That feeling that you’ve been somewhere before when the fact of the matter is that you haven’t.
Déjà vu. Recently, scientists have been trying to study the phenomenon. But because the experience is such a fleeting one and you can’t tell when it’s going to happen it’s very difficult to measure.
Apparently there are some chronic sufferers and it affects their everyday lives. But it’s still almost impossible to study those people. A professor at a clinic rang up a patient of his who suffers from chronic déjà vu to ask him to come in so he could run some tests. But the patient refused to on the basis that he’d been there before. I suppose we’ll never know then.
Hang on, haven’t I told you this before?
