Jamevyu (from the French jamais vu, which means "never seen") – is a psychological phenomenon opposite to deja vu. When a person experiences a jam, he feels that a familiar situation or event is completely new and unfamiliar, although it has already happened before. In other words, a person does not recognize what he should have familiar.
Characteristics of the phenomenon:
- Like deja vu, the feeling of jamevu occurs suddenly and lasts only a few seconds.
- The feeling can be so intense that a person begins to doubt his own memory.
- Despite a strong sense of novelty, a person usually realizes that he has already experienced this situation, but cannot recognize it as familiar.
Researchers propose several theories that can explain the phenomenon of jamévue:
Neurological theories:
- Jamévue can be the result of a short-term failure in memory processing by the brain, when known situations are temporarily not recognized as familiar.
- The phenomenon can arise due to temporary disturbances in neural networks, which are responsible for recognizing and processing familiar situations.
Psychological theories:
- Jamévue is more likely to occur in a state of severe fatigue or exhaustion, when the brain cannot properly process information.
- When a person is in a state of information overload or stress, his brain can "disable" the recognition of familiar situations.
Memory theories:
- Jamévue can be associated with temporary dissociation, when a person feels removed from the surrounding reality, which makes it difficult to recognize familiar objects and situations.
Prevalence and impact
- Jamévue is a less common phenomenon than deja vu. However, many people have experienced a similar feeling at least once in their lives.
- Jamévue is normal and does not indicate any pathological conditions, although frequent jamévue may be associated with certain mental or neurological disorders.
Jamévue is an interesting and less common psychological phenomenon, which is the opposite of deja vu. It arises suddenly and causes a feeling of novelty in familiar situations. Like deja vu, javelin attracts the attention of scientists who try to understand its nature and mechanisms. Regardless of the origin, jamieu reminds us of the complexity and amazingness of the work of our brain and memory.
