  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Lesson by Michael Molina, animation by Josh Harris.

You might have felt it -- the feeling that you've experienced something before, but, in reality, the experience is brand new. There are over 40 theories that attempt to explain the phenomenon of déjà vu. Michael Molina explains how neuroimaging and cognitive psychology have narrowed down the theories that could explain that feeling you're having...again.

I'm pretty sure this is a *dupe. Yeah, I think I've seen this before.

I can only do a title and tag search with only one page of results(this is another complaint via mobile @lucky760). I am surprised the @siftbot did not catch this. @graterbot would have for he is the greater bot.

Not to be confused with Future Memory.

My theory: For evolutionary needs, when you've seen something before something happens in your brain to give you the feeling that you've seen it, like a chem release maybe. Deja Vu is when that 'chem release' gets triggered accidentally/independently.

deja vu is a glitch in the matrix.
it means they changed something.

thought everybody knew that.silly scientists.

Déjà vu: An innate survival imprint colliding with a skewed perception. Déjà vu is your driver knowing better than the rider of what to do next, more chemical releases to follow...

...I know I've said this before but...ohhh, nevermind...again....
