Detailed explanation-1: -Déjà vu is a common experience-about two-thirds of people have had it. But it’s still widely misunderstood. The reason simply is it’s hard to study in a laboratory, so our understanding is limited. There are a few theories, though, about what might lead to this “glitch” in the brain.
Detailed explanation-2: -It often manifests itself as a momentary lack of recognition of a familiar word, person, or place. For example, when you look at your own face in the mirror and it begins to look strange, or if you temporarily forget what a pedal does when you are driving. It is possible to induce jamais vu in a laboratory setting.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, having watched a documentary on a castle a decade ago might lead to a sense of déjà vu when you visit it. So, yes, it is possible to experience déjà vu related to a completely new place. Our brain is always searching for connections. As a result, we can sometimes make links that simply aren’t there.
