You know that feeling ... you have the feeling that you were already in a place, that you already heard this conversation, that you already lived this experience.
But you know that it is impossible and there is no other explanation than a "déjà vu", the term used to describe the phenomenon of having the sensation that an event that we experience nowadays we already experienced in the past.
We tell you some peculiarities of this strange feeling that "we already live it".
1. Traveling is a great trigger
These experiences are typically related to places and are felt most intensely when we live novel experiences in completely new places
Unknown places offer opportunities for a conflict between the feeling that something is familiar and the certainty that it can not be a memory.
Several studies found that the more we travel the more we experience déjà vu.
2. Young people have more déjà vu
Young people can experience these sensations at least once a month.
But the frequency is reduced by at least half when we reach 40 or 50.
And after 60, you'll be lucky if a déjà vu happens to you once a year.
3. The déjà vu are related to memory
Scientists believe that this sensation is related to a part of the brain called the temporal lobe.
One of the most accepted explanations is that déjà vu is related to the process of memory storage.
A lapse or delay when we perceive stimuli can give us the sensation that something we see has already been seen.
The experience of déjà vu is a manifestation of the system used by our memory to communicate that we are in a family situation.
