'I've been here before': the deja vu fecling
Most people - two out of three, according to surveys - have experienced dej/a vu (French for 'already seen'). It 1s that
weird sensation of having 'been here before' or having 'lived this moment already'. You may be visiting some entirely
unfammliar town, for instance, and 'realise' that you have already been in that precise spot, even though you knov it is
impossible. The feeling goes way beyond any vague sense of having seen or done something similar before - it feels
1dentical to a past experience. Yet trying to pin down the memory 1s like trying to catch a dream - Just as you think you
are homing in on it, ít turns to vapour. The eeriness of this has led to all sorts of spooky theories. A popular one is that
it is the memory of a dream in which the person has lived through the current moment in advance. In recent years,
however, neuroscientists have discovered enough about perception and memory to piece together a more plausible
explanation.
Every conscious experience we have is 'constructed' by our brain out of lots of different components, rather as a car
might be made in a factory. We tend to think of an event as a bundile of sensations: sight, sound, etc.. but there 1s actually
much more to it. If you (literally) bump into someone in the street, for example, you will be aware of the sight of them,
the touch of them as you bump, the sound each of you makes, and so on. But you will also be aware of the meaning,
tone and intention of the sound, the pain from the bump, a sense of irritation or embarrassment; a thought, perhaps, that
you, or the other person, is clumsy, and so on. There is much more to experience than simple sensations.
One very important 'component' that often gets added 1s a sense of familiarity. This is generated in the deep part of
the brain that creates emotions. The sense of 'Ah yes! I recognise this!' usually only gets attached to experiences which
'match' stored memories. Sometimes, though, the part of the brain which generates the fecling of familiarity attaches it
to an experience that 1s actually quite novel. This is what seems to happen in deja vu. The brain then tries to dịg out
matching memories, but of course they aren't there - hence the maddening feeling of chasing shadows.
For most people, đe/a vu 1s a rare and fleeting phenomenon, intriguing rather than disturbing. And it doesn't seem
to be unhealthy - indeed, deja vu 15 most commonly reported by people who are young, intelligent and well-educated.
Given that 1t 1s actually a minor brain malfunction, this may seem strange. The explanation may be that young brains
are more 'recogmtion sensitive', so they are more easily triggered into familiarity mode. Similar sensitivity may also be
a factor in inteligence - bnght people 'see things' more readily than others, and intelligent people tend to go on to higher
education. So đe/a vu may be a side effect of having a brain that is quick to recognise things.
For an unfortunate few, though, deja vu 1s a constant companion, and a serious blight on their lives. Dr Chris Moulin
