Did you ever get that weird feeling that this happened before or you’re living this moment once again?  
That eerie feeling is called déjà vu, a French term meaning “already seen.”  
It happens when there’s a brief miscommunication between the brain’s memory center (the temporal lobe) and the part that processes new information (the hippocampus).
