The Inappropriate Sensation of Jamivu

Jamivu is the sensation of unfamiliarity for something that should be familiar. It can manifest in various tasks, such as writing, hearing music, or driving repetitively. The experience involves the word or task losing meaning and appearing as a collection of letters or unfamiliar actions. Dr. Akira Okona, a senior lecturer in psychology, conducted research on Jamevoo, which led to winning the Ignoble Prize. This phenomenon is categorized as a dissociative memory experience, where feelings of familiarity dissociate from what is known to be true about memory.
