Deja Vu Experience - How to Generate a False Memory

Dr. Ikeria O'Connor, senior psychology lecturer at the University of St Andrews, talks us through the neuroscience of Deja Vu. One is a feeling of familiarity and the other is an awareness that that familiarity is wrong or misplaced. It's very unusual for us to have these experiences where things don't quite seem to make sense within our own brains. So it gives us a real insight into all that must be going on in our everyday lives for we to have such good, coherent experiences of the world normally.
