Anyone have an experience of deja vu. This article explains an experiment about deja vu and how deja vu is happened. Participants spent 10 seconds remembering a past personal event and then they spent 10 seconds imagining a similar future. The brain scans showed that several brain areas that were active while participants imagined themselves in the future were also active when they remembered themselves in the past. But in our brain, there is no overlapping past and future. Our brain have pictures the future in remembering past. So I always wondering how deja vu is happened. This experiment and article make me know how it does. In brain, there are many happening what we don't know.
