The brain “doubles up” by simultaneously making two memories of events
Hypothesis: Deja Vu happens when the long term memory isn't suppressed properly during the first few days.<p>I often find when I experience Deja Vu I think I remember doing a thing I did the day before a long time before that. It feels like I have two memories, one of a recent event and one a vague recollection of something a long time ago. This sounds like exactly what one would expect if two memories are recorded, one suppressed for a few days and one forgotten in a few days, but the suppression fails.<p>Does anyone else have Deja Vu like this?
