When I was in graduate school, a neurologist told us it was "reverberating circuits" where the experience immediately went into memory, and then popped back into consciousness.

He told us that if it happened frequently, that was not a good sign. It's a common symptom of temporal lobe epilepsy.

Don't remember what "frequently" was, now.

It is always very strange. Something with the brain not differentiating between a the current situation and a very similar memory. :idunno:

This sounds more correct than anything else I've heard. Either that, or Yoda is zapping us with the Force :thumb:

Like Squishes said it's a feed back loop, your brain is laying down track and picking it back up at the same time.
Microphone next to speaker kind of thing.

That sounds sensible. I wouldn't say I have it frequently, maybe a couple times a month but when I do it's so weird!

(A) possible explanation for the phenomenon of déjà vu is the occurrence of "cryptamnesia", which is where information learned is forgotten but nevertheless stored in the brain, and similar occurrences invoke the contained knowledge, leading to a feeling of familiarity because of the situation, event or emotional/vocal content, known as "déjà vu"...

I like the imagery this explanation evokes - one of random memories lost in the brain, accessible only by chance.

yeah...and, I think alot of them might come from dreams we have had...but forgotten...but, the memory is still there, none the less. When it rises up our of the ashes of our minds, we might think it is a real memory, due to it being close to something that is occuring in our life at the given moment.
