What deja vu can teach us about memory, with Chris Moulin, PhD
b'
The eerie sensation of \\u201cd\\xe9j\\xe0 vu\\u201d -- feeling a strong sense of familiarity in a new place or situation -- is one of memory\\u2019s strangest tricks. Researcher Chris Moulin, PhD, of Grenoble Alpes University, talks about why d\\xe9j\\xe0 vu happens; why both d\\xe9j\\xe0 vu and its lesser-known opposite, jamais vu, may actually be signs of a healthy memory at work; why young people are more prone to d\\xe9j\\xe0 vu; how he and others study d\\xe9j\\xe0 vu and jamais vu in the lab; and what these experiences can teach us about memory more broadly.
