This effect, which makes you feel like you've already seen some new things before, can be quite amazing.
Here are a few interesting facts about this effect you might not know.
Brief moments
Deja vu usually lasts for just a few seconds or moments.
It can be a sudden sensation that comes and goes quickly.
Common occurrence
Many people have experienced deja vu at least once in their lives. It's quite a common phenomenon.
No clear explanation
Scientists are still trying to understand why deja vu happens. There isn't a clear and definite explanation for it yet.
Different triggers
Deja vu can be triggered by various things, such as visiting a new place, meeting new people, or even during ordinary daily activities.
Memory-related
Some researchers think that deja vu may be related to how our brain processes and stores memories.
It could be a temporary mix-up or overlap in our memory system.
Similar but different
Deja vu is often described as a feeling of reliving a past experience, but it's not actually remembering the specific details.
It's more like a general sense of familiarity.
Age and frequency
Deja vu is more common in younger people and tends to occur less frequently as we get older.
