Neuropsychiatrist and anomalistic psychologist Dr. Vernon Neppe(1) shared his intensive research into the phenomenon of dÃ©jÃ vu. The experience is defined as feeling as though something has happened before-- that you've already been in a place, or heard or seen something, even though it should be unfamiliar (see list(2) of various subtypes).
Early interpretations of the experience associated it with temporal lobe dysfunction, and while that holds true in some cases, Neppe found that dÃ©jÃ vu could also be related to nostalgia, relief of anxiety, and paranormal experiences.
He is particularly fascinated by the paranormal or psychic connections with dÃ©jÃ vu. The sense of "time distortion" that can accompany the experience relates to notions of reincarnation and having lived before, he noted, and premonitions and precognition share a similarity to the phenomenon as well.

Did you know that Streamlink(1) subscribers have access to a fun and vital forum called the Coast Riders? (members click here(2)). As part of an occasional series, we ask Riders to share with you a bit about themselves and the forum. Below is a profile of 'Morbek:'
Hi, I'm Morbek. Among other things, I'm a third year geology/anthropology student. I SHOULD be transferring to University of Texas at Austin to finish my bachelors and work on an advanced degree...I will be about age 110 when I bother getting out of school - I got a late start as I raised, or had a hand in raising, five children. Been a c2c listener for MANY years.I enjoy the forum probably due to the fact that the people are insightful, intelligent and accepting. They are very willing to listen to a different point of view and agree to disagree if that be the case! This is a group of supportive, compassionate and kind people who are willing to pull for each other when times get tough. We all need more of them in our lives.
