It is believed that humans have three types of memory storage.

Short Term
Medium
Long Term

Deja Vu is believed to occur when a new memory that you acquire accidentally goes directly to long term memory storage bypassing short and medium.

A part of the brain being used for one function being stimulated and it's really close to another part of the brain having to do with long-term memory.

>> No.1413799

>>1413756

Sensory
Short
Long

Those are the three, unless you consider short term memory as sensory for some reason.

Sensory is where everything enters, short term is where its rehearsed and encoded, and long term is where its all stored. Short term is also where you retrieve things from long term storage.

It happens because your memories of what actually happened and your memories of what you think happened are personally indistinguishable. If something seems a little familiar and your brain says "IT'S LIKE THIS HAPPENED BEFORE" that's mentally equivalent to having had something identical happen before and just forgetting it until something similar happens later.

>> No.1413827

>>1413799

Call it whatever you were ordered to call it by your slave gods.

If we look at the times involved you will see it my way.

Sensory memory corresponds approximately to the initial 200–500 milliseconds after an item is perceived.

AKA Short Term

Short-term memory allows recall for a period of several seconds to a minute without rehearsal.

AKA Medium

long-term memory can store much larger quantities of information for potentially unlimited duration

AKA LONG TERM

ITT we like to pretend the term "Sensory" does not mean "Short Term".

WHho is the faggot allowed to name shit? Needs to be fucking fired.

Its like the CEO of Starbucks was somehow allowed to name Memory terms.

First a memory goes through "Tall" memory storage.

Then it passes through the "Grande" Stage of memory.

Lastly we come to the "Venti" memory.

>> No.1413904

psychfag here. Here's my theory. Your brain sort of "short circuits". There is an upload of sensory memory into short term memory which occurs in tandem to short term memory and to long term memory encoding. This involves not only the familiar "nowness" that deja vu incorprates but also the long term memory facet of familiarity and distant remembering coupled with emotions of the experience. In some sense, you are uploading the memory to two different places in your brain at the same tim.

Actually:
If you think about having a de-javu a lot.
Then you will be experiencing at least one in the next hours / the next days!

Just think a bit about it.
Go to sleep.
You will experience a dejavu the next day

The more you think about it, the more likely it is you'll be experiencing one...

sometimes our brain just doesn't work quite right, especially with memory. Long term memory is particularity poor at recalling events, relying on reconstruction rather than recall. There is a pathway to long term memory through short term memory rehearsal; it seems reasonable that this pathway can sometimes be realized into conscious thought so that long term and short term memories are experienced at the same time during the encoding process. It is like LTM catches up with the present and you experience the past as reality.

Hi guys, just to ensure you guys take me seriously I'm going to tell you truthfully that I am a physics major, and all natural scepticisms to religion, magic and other bull shit apply; dejavu though is something I have experienced myself, but not how people think dejavu works, the dejavu I experience comes from my dreams, as in, I have had dreams (that I can't remember consciously) in the past, that have seemed to have come true, for example, the last time I had dejavu, I was at a party at this guys house, and everyone was talking about something random, but when I was sitting in there, I was like, damn I've done this before, i've been in this exact same moment before, the dejavu lasted like 20 seconds, and was a insignificant event in my life, because it seemed so normal, but everything was the same, and I realized the dejavu was from my dreams years ago, whether i've had that experience many times but had forgotten it when i woke up from sleeping, but actually being in the event had sparked my memory/subconsciousness somehow,
on a side note, this has happened about 4 times throughout my life, with different random dreams, and random events,
also in the dreams everything is really "blury" as in, you do not know where you are, what you are seeing, hearing, ect.. but when the event happens in real life, you'll know it was from that dream and you're experiencing dejavu, this is how my life was flipped upside down, dreams of playing on playgrounds most of my days where I would play with my friends and relax outside, playing basket ball outside of the school, one dream was of being beaten up, my mom got scared and said "your moving with your uncle and aunt in bel-air"

(excusing that last little bit(I couldn't resist), i'm serious, all the dejavu stuff I was talking about is true.)
