Ai avut vreodată senzația că un cuvânt cunoscut pare brusc străin? Fenomenul e opusul lui déjà vu • Newsweek România

The phenomenon known as 'jamais vu' occurs when familiar words or images suddenly feel strange or meaningless. Researchers have studied this experience, finding that it can be triggered by repetitive exposure to words. In experiments, a significant percentage of participants reported feeling this sensation after repeating words multiple times. Traditional explanations suggest that this occurs due to mental saturation, but recent studies indicate it may begin earlier in the visual processing stage. While 'jamais vu' is typically a brief and unusual experience, it can also be linked to certain neurological conditions, although this is distinct from the common experience of word repetition.
