Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Déjà vu occurs when our current situation triggers an overlap of cues from previous experiences, leading to a feeling of familiarity or the eerie sensation of having been there before. This happens because the brain is trying to match the current situation to a past experience, causing a sense of familiarity that may not be entirely accurate.
