Hey, /sci/ Have you ever experienced Deja vu? How do you explain

>>7665866
We don't, it's supernatural.

Come back when you're asking about Deja vu of Deja vu, I get that every so often and that's a mindfuck.

>Deja vu^3 just straight up leaves you thinking you're in a time loop

>>7665866
Yes.

Something something about dreams and the brain keeping leftover metadata around that gets attached to new memories.

>>7665866
>Have you ever experienced Deja vu?
Not really.

>>7665927
yeah, some brain glitch

No.

No.

I attribute it to my alcohol-ravaged memory.

>>7665866
Yes.

Multiple possibilities:
-Error in memory subsystems causing a novel experience to be tagged as occurring earlier than it really did, and thus a sensation repetition.
-Consciousness and memory transcending the material. The universe infinitely playing out, then looping back on itself. When my time to exist comes about again, occasionally small bits of information somehow spillover.
-Time and the notion of continuity not being as we believe. Dreams being a visitation to another place or way of being that isn't simply a simulation based on information we already possess. I've had dreams so complex and finessed it leads me to believe the conscious mind and its frame of experience is actually a net detriment when it comes to comprehension and creativity. Entire movie plots have just shown up in my head. I've woke up with schematics for various devices in my head. I write them down, and it actually works. Had conversations with beings that didn't seem to be me, and told me things I might have half known, but never connected together. Strange things, perhaps it's a representation of this other pool of information.

I've had this! You're not alone.

Deja vu is when the left eye takes in information and gets processed by the brain first, by the time the right eye takes in the same information the illusion that it has already been experienced is created.

If multiverses exist then deja vu's could be experiencing closely related alternative timeline memories.

>>7665866
It's just a recollection of a strikingly similar experience from the past.

Reality contains itself so it cannot have an external cause. reality is all of existence. if X was created by Y, and X is real, then Y is also real. therefore reality is a self-creating process. this process by which the universe (reality) generates itself is comparable to a reflexive, self-selecting algorithm or function, and is isomorphic to 'consciousness' in that it is perceptual in nature and relies on information processing. this self-caused process inflicts constraints on itself informationally by perceiving and 'reflecting' on the information, which results in structure, and thus increasingly complex structures by recursion. This structure is describable as a language, where the components (symbols) of it could be mapped (isomorphically) to the 'material', i.e. represented as physical quanta to a perceiving entity, where the laws of physics are comparable to the syntax of the language. ultimately i think it is appropriate to qualify the 'perceiver' in which this 'language' has been constructed (from which all systems in the universe, including our own minds, are patterned) as a mind. 'before' this self-generation there was an unbound 'ground-state' of infinite potential (no constraint--no structure required to explain). the system brings itself into existence as a means of atemporal communication between its past and future whereby law and state, syntax and informational content, generate and refine each other across time to maximize total systemic self-utility

this is really trippy feel. like occasionally I'm walking down the stairs or something and I get a deja vu where I know I will get a deja vu in a few seconds. that can result in 20-30 seconds of continous deja vu.

>-Time and the notion of continuity not being as we believe. Dreams being a visitation to another place or way of being that isn't simply a simulation based on information we already possess

yeah I'm starting to get this feel too. I mean I know this is >>/x/ and >>420chan but I'm starting to feel that our experience of time is a limited one, except in very rare(or maybe not so rare depending on the individual, schizos anyone?) moments of clarityl. Like we perceive time as 2-dimensional flat line with no rewind, but there's actually a third dimension to it or something. hard to verbalize

Universe is a simulation. Deja vu is just a lag spike.

Heard it here first

Yeah.

never again

I get deja vu all the time and I get deja vu of deja vu as well.

I also get deja vu where I'm absolutely convinced what i'm experiencing I experienced before in a dream.

It's just a brain thing, like TOT or walking into a room and forgetting what you went in there for.

You ever join a server in an old videogame to find that it's nothing but bots just chatting and talking to eachother forever, just saying the same things, repeating the same phrases and taunts, just the same thing forever.
It must be hell.

I get this all the time but it's never just a deja-vu, it's more like a deja-vu loop that kills my brain
It's really hard to explain

in example yesterday
I had a deja-vu when I talked to a friend about a game
in the same time I had a deja-vu of myself thinking I have a deja-vu after talking to this friend
and it goes on and on

please kill me

I rarely experience in-the-moment deja vu, but every time I take a test, it seems new at the time, but two hours later I think about it and feel like "hey, didn't I take a test very similar to that before?"

I guess that's the sound of my brain dumping all the information I learned into the recycling bin as soon as it's done being tested.

>>7667713
so a person with only 1 eye can not experience deja vu? sounds bullshit

>>7668358
Have you ever met a person with one eye that experienced deja vu? Didn't think so.

>>7668218

Ice cream? I love ice cream.

A simple explanation that i have no idea wether its true or not is that your brain accidently stores a recent memory thats meant for short term storage in long term storage instead, causing you to feel as the new memory is something from the past even though it just happened.

The frequency of dejavus is linearly dependent on your age. When you're an old fuck life's nothing but a great dejavu. Also that's why time seems to pass faster when you age.

>>7668970
>Also that's why time seems to pass faster when you age.
No one truly knows why this happens, and I don't buy the explanation about a reduction in novel experiences.

Certain drugs markedly change your time sense. Acid is the most popularized example, but caffeine and certain compounds in the cocoa bean are also applicable. If you've experienced or read about "Alice in wonderland syndrome", it also becomes more clear how strange the perception of change in one's environment and time, really is.

Either something is happening to the machinery of the brain independent of retrospective perception, or something is happening to the universe itself. Regions of the brain might be able to represented as working in ticks, and that tick rate changes. Less ticks per given interval, the faster time appears to move and the fewer things you can see yourself as doing. And the inverse.

do you ever wake up smelling like festering feces but you cant help but run your hand along each armpit then smelling your fingers its an addiction that is hard to beat I find the best way to overcome it is to rub nail polish on your foreskin then whenever you have the urge to smell your b.o just grab your balls really tight it works trust me I hope this has been of help!

I attribute it to my alcohol-ravaged memory.

I have epilepsy. Not photosensitive, but I have seizures due to... something. Personally I think it's blood sugar since they're always after I've eaten too little or had a sudden burst of exercise, and I have a pretty high metabolism, but there's no proof.
Anyway.
There's a sort of state I end up in which always precedes a seizure, but I can be in it without having one, especially since I started medication to not have them. The most obvious part of it is that I suddenly am not able to recognise language, written or spoken, although I am aware enough to notice this and still recognise a tone of voice when someone else is speaking. If it gets nearer to me having a seizure, it gets so extreme that my brain starts interpreting nearly every sound as a word or phrase I've heard, but still can't recognise what they mean, resulting in an insane mashup of random phrases that would probably make me go insane if I could tell what was being said (although at that point I'm about to pass out, so it doesn't affect me much regardless).

Basically, I get deja vu turned up to 11.

It's caused by your brain breaking.
