Deja Vu

Déjà vu adalah sebuah frasa Perancis dan artinya secara harafiah adalah "pernah lihat / pernah merasa". Maksudnya mengalami sesuatu pengalaman yang dirasakan pernah dialami sebelumnya. Fenomena ini juga disebut dengan istilah paramnesia dari bahasa Yunani para (παρα) yang artinya ialah "sejajar" dan mnimi (μνήμη) "ingatan". Menurut para pakar, setidaknya 100% penduduk bumi pernah mengalami fenomena ini. Hampir semua dari kita pernah mengalami apa yang dinamakan deja vu: sebuah perasaan aneh yang mengatakan bahwa peristiwa baru yang sedang kita rasakan sebenarnya pernah kita alami jauh sebelumnya. Peristiwa ini bisa berupa sebuah tempat baru yang sedang dikunjungi, percakapan yang sedang dilakukan, sudut pandang saat melihat sesuatu, atau sebuah acara TV yang sedang ditonton. Lebih anehnya lagi, kita juga seringkali tidak mampu untuk dapat benar-benar mengingat kapan dan bagaimana pengalaman sebelumnya itu terjadi secara rinci. Yang kita tahu hanyalah adanya sensasi misterius yang membuat kita tidak merasa asing dengan peristiwa baru itu. Keanehan fenomena deja vu ini kemudian melahirkan beberapa teori metafisis yang mencoba menjelaskan sebab musababnya. Salah satunya adalah teori yang mengatakan bahwa deja vu sebenarnya berasal dari kejadian serupa yang pernah dialami oleh jiwa kita dalam salah satu kehidupan reinkarnasi sebelumnya di masa lampau. Bagaimana penjelasan ilmu psikologi sendiri? Terkait dengan Umur dan Penyakit Degeneratif yang berhubungan erat. Pada awalnya anda membaca teks ini , beberapa ilmuwan beranggapan bahwa deja vu terjadi ketika sensasi optik yang diterima oleh sebelah mata sampai ke otak (dan dipersepsikan) lebih dulu daripada sensasi yang sama yang diterima oleh sebelah mata yang lain, sehingga menimbulkan perasaan familiar pada sesuatu yang sebenarnya baru pertama kali dilihat. Teori yang dikenal dengan nama “optical pathway delay” ini dipatahkan ketika pada bulan Desember tahun lalu ditemukan bahwa orang butapun bisa mengalami deja vu melalui indra penciuman, pendengaran, dan perabaannya.
