Deja Vu
-
We have a good idea of how conventional memory works: you experience something, record the details in your brain and it's available for recollection later, but what about future memory or Deja Vu? Many of us have experienced it in some form. You do something that you have never done before, yet you have a memory of doing it, but you can't have the memory because you have never done it before. How does that work So, any thoughts? No, I don't want The Matrix explanation Paresh Solanki "Set you're faces to stunned..."

From an article I read a while back, The Deja Vu sensation is caused by your eyes reading information into storage and then sending the message to your command center that then examines the memory for passed similar experieces and the memory is already written, Thus it appears not to be a new experiece. So It's like a sychronization problem of sorts. But yeah Deja Vu is an eerie experience at times and can be quite confusing. Regardz Colin J Davies

because are lives are a continuous cycle. We are born, we live , we die, we are born, we live... déjà vu is just a memory of the previous life. Michael :-) Look, try and use your intelligence, man, even if you are a politician. - The Doctor

If I remember well, it's a perception shift between the 2 cerebral hemispheres, one responsible for the vision and one for the interpretation. When interpretation becomes consciencous after a small delay, you "remember" you seen it before, but in fact, your brain memorized the vision before the interpretation.

But how does that explain the time lag between memory and experience? Sometimes there's a day between the memory and the event. Paresh Solanki "Set you're faces to stunned..."

So when I have a deja vu moment about a post on CP, that's a memory of something that happened in a previous life? I don't think this is totally true because I have had deja vu memory of things that could only have happened in this lifetime. Details such as technology that was created recently, or current events etc Paresh Solanki "Set you're faces to stunned..."

How long is the delay? Usually this is minutes for me (eg I 'remember' and after a couple of mins, thge 'event' happens), but sometimes it can be hours. or is that just the way I percieve it? Paresh Solanki "Set you're faces to stunned..."

This is the way I see it: Memory works by matching existing patterns. Patterns are created in the brain whenever we experience something. When a pattern does not match 100%, we know that it is a new experience. Sometimes the brain fails and returns a 100% match to an experience which just happened. Thus we think that we've already experienced the moment. This is the way I see it: Memory works by matching existing patterns. Patterns are created in the brain whenever we experience something.

What you describe is not deja vú deja vú: You have the feeling you've seen this before - but you can't remember where or when, and, in fact, it *is* the first time you see it. It's just your brain playing dirty tricks on you. What do you mean with "remember and minutes to hours later it happens"? can you describe in more detail?

Funny, you have re-invented what we call in French the "Verlan", a kind of sublanguage based on reversing words (letters or sounds, it depends). "Verlan" corresponds to "Envers", that I would try to translate as "backward", which would give "wardback". Have you the same in english ? (Because "Déjà vu" means "Already seen" (or "seen yet" :confused: ), I would rather say "Jamais vu" (never seen) in this case) We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors.
