Among the variety of actions that our body is capable of performing, and that many of us have experienced, the so-called deja vu It is undoubtedly one of those that causes or originates the greatest intrigue or confusion in us. And it is that although this type of reaction can be something so simple to describe, the truth is that explaining its origin is more complicated than it seems.
Due to the above, a large number of people have tried to explain this reaction a little by calling it a vision of past lives, an unconscious fantasy to improve the current situation or even a “failure in the Matrix”. But what does science say about it? According to James J. Giordano, a professor of neurology at Georgetown University, United States, a deja vu is a experience subjective experience that a person experiences after repeating a set of activities, thoughts and feelings even though it never happened.
In short, it is a experience in which our brain tends to confuse the present with the past through various elements such as hearing, taste, touch, sight, among others. Although, according to Giordano, déjà vu is something totally normal and daily in a large number of people, to what degree does the appearance of a déjà vu deja vu can become the alarm signal of something much bigger?
The meaning of déjà vu
Although there are no exact and extremely precise data regarding the appearance of a deja vu in a person’s life, the truth is that close to 90% of the population has experienced at least one at some point in their life. life. In the same way, it is known that this type of experience tends to decrease over the years.
It should be noted that this “phenomenon” is a reaction of our brain when it takes something from our present and relates it to the past with the sole purpose of planning the future. However, this line of action is often mixed to the point of making a person “believe” that they are living the present as a memory and not as reality.
Warning sign?
Despite this explanation, there are still a large number of doubts regarding the exact origin of a deja vu. Among the most relevant theories is that of the theoretical physicist Michio Kaku who reveals that déjà vu is a memory defect that occurs due to fragments of stored resources from parallel universes. It has even been argued that stress could trigger the appearance of a deja vu.
But what if this type of reaction appears more often in a person? According to Giordano, if déjà vu begins to appear with some regularity in addition to being accompanied by other symptoms, it will be necessary to see a specialist. This is due to the fact that the presence of déjà vu could indicate some kind of sign of an epileptic seizure.
