Many people have experienced de\u0301ja\u0300 vu, the feeling that a situation or event is familiar, though there is no evidence that the situation has been experienced before. Recent studies have shown that roughly two-thirds of people have experienced de\u0301ja\u0300 vu at least once. This episode explores three research articles chronicling the phenomenon and its elements and the range of proposed explanations for it.
