Deja Vu

Hi all, after many Deja Vu experiences in my life, where I have felt like I have done something before (Sure it can be explained by a lot of you) I was just wondering, what Deja Vu experiences have you all had, where you could swear blind the situation has happend before, but know its not possible?

Haaha :p

It's Deja (accents on both vowels, don't know the buttons) vu, as in "already seen".
 
Its a simple* case of your eyes seeing a situation before the brain has chance to process the data and turn it into useful information. As the data is already in your 'system' so to speak, your brain thinks it recognises it**.

*Obviously not simple enough for clearbluesky.

**Disclaimer: This is popular scientific speculation, and should in no way be interpreted as 'fact', as defined thusly:

# a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred; "first you must collect all the facts of the case"

# a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened; "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts"

# an event known to have happened or something known to have existed; "your fears have no basis in fact"; "how much of the story is fact and how much fiction is hard to tell"

# a concept whose truth can be proved; "scientific hypotheses are not facts"

# In law, a fact is a statement which is found to be true by a "tryer of fact," sometimes a jury, but often the court (the judge or judges) after hearing evidence.

# An indisputable truth.

# A fact or unit clause is a term of the form: Head. where Head is a structure or an atom. A fact may be considered to be a rule whose body is always true.

# A fact is a proposition that has been asserted to be either True or False . The term "fact" usually refers to a "ground proposition", ie, a proposition that can be represented as a predicate applied to a sequence of instances or literals.

# knowledge or information based on real occurrences; a thing that has been done; something shown to exist; something known to have existed; a real occurrence; something believed to be true; an event

# A statement about the relationship between objects.

# When an observation is confirmed repeatedly and by many independent and competent observers, it can become a fact.

# Something that is known to have happened or to be true or to exist

# a description of a bit or piece of some domain of inquiry.

# an issue which, in order to be relevant in this connection, has to indicate either a strength or a weakness

# An actual event or a true statement.

# An observation that all (or almost all) scientists agree is correct.

# Something that can be demonstrated to be true. A proven piece of information.

# A claim that is either true or for which there is excellent evidence or justification. Sometimes “fact” is used for the circumstances asserted by such a claim, as when we say that a claim “states a fact.” This means only that the claim is true or that there is excellent evidence or justification for it.


# A fact is an expression which represents a true statement in the current world state.


# A close agreement by competent observers of a series of observations of the same phenomena.

Yes, something as poorly understood as the functioning of our brain has just been explained in a single paragraph. The paragraph even sounds scientific, top marks.

any proof to go with that? Or is it just scientific speculation?

There are many theories behinf it, ranging from the science one above to the more extreme ones such as astral travelling.

I dont think its been proven one way or another yet.
 
Its to do with memory, you look at something and this image should be sent to your short term memory but instead you brain accidently passes it to you long term memory. So after a few seconds when you look again you have the image in both areas of memory.

I head somone once describe it as a brain hickup.

Well with my own experiences of Deja Vu, I simply can't believe this stuff about brain hiccups and my eyes seeing something before my brain does.

I typically see something to trigger what feels like something I have seen before but once I see that first image I can describe say the next 5 minutes.

For instance, in the pub with a mate watching football, I see the opposition miss a shot which triggers my memory. I then turn to my mate and say i've seen this before, this ball gets moved out the left hand side, we win a corner and our centre-half bundles it in at the near post. Then it actually happens. This is in a live game before anyone posts any cheeky match of the day comments :p
