Daily mail post on brain stuff. I feel as though I read this last year:
Deja vu is characterised by a sudden intense feeling of familiarity and the sense you have experienced the same moment before.
One explanation is that a situation triggers a memory of a similar experience in the past and wrongly 'tags' it as familiar, creating a sense of recognition without bringing to mind the previous event.
Jamais vu is when you're in a situation that should be familiar, but which seems strange. You may suddenly find your own home to be unfamiliar or for a second not realise that the person approaching you is someone you know well.
