According to Arnaud, Louis was " psychedelic déjà vu " , meaning déjà vu increased . The phenomenon of déjà vu is quite common, 60-80% of the population has experienced this phenomenon at least once in their lives. Usually Déjà vu will quickly end but can also become pathological if people, like Louis, cannot escape.
120 years later, scientists rediscovered documents about Louis and published in Cortex. They assumed that the state of the veteran was in fact not related to déjà vu because the déjà vu was fully aware, knowing the feeling of familiarity was odd. If the patient thinks he or she actually lived in that situation, the story will turn to another direction.
Scientists say Louis is more likely to suffer from "re-gathering talk" , memory disorders that cause patients to process new information like old information, and accidentally create more virtual details. In addition, Louis may also suffer from a form of " memory disorder " that asserts all places, places, and people are copied from some origin.
But all this is just a hypothesis, but it is impossible to determine exactly what Louis's disease is."Perhaps we will never understand the neurological basis in this case, " wrote the authors in Cortex. Anyway, the case is still an important document about déjà vu. It reminds us that sometimes memory is unreliable, easily bent and deceived people.
What is Déjà vu?
Déjà vu is an illusion, feeling familiar (as seen, experienced in memory) in a new environment, setting, never known before or not remembering at all. These may be the experiences of a certain feeling that once witnessed or lived through a situation that happened before (someone who feels this happening has happened in the past not long ago) ), although it is not possible to know when those hunches happened. Déjà vu is often a very familiar feeling, "weird", "strange" and full of "occult" and happens most often in dreams, both in reality that this image "has happened out "in the past.
