Dr Moulin believes that a similar brain fatigue underlies a phenomenon observed in some schizophrenia patients: that a familiar person has been replaced by an impostor. At the International Conference on Memory in Sydney last week he reported that 68 per cent of his guinea pigs showed symptoms of jamais vu, such as beginning to doubt that "door" was a real word. Ĭhris Moulin, of Leeds University, asked 92 volunteers to write out "door" 30 times in 60 seconds. With seizures, jamais vu can surface as an aura due to a partial seizure disorder that originates from the temporal lobe of the brain. Jamais vu is sometimes associated with certain types of amnesia and epilepsy. The phenomenon is often grouped with déjà vu and presque vu (together, the three are frequently referred to as "The Vus"). Jamais vu is more commonly explained as when a person momentarily doesn't recognize a word, person, or place that he/she already knows. Often described as the opposite of déjà vu, jamais vu involves a sense of eeriness and the observer's impression of seeing the situation for the first time, despite rationally knowing that he or she has been in the situation before. In psychology, the term jamais vu (from the French language|French, meaning "never seen") is used to describe any familiar situation which is not recognized by the observer.
