This book collates the work of world-leading researchers on déją vu and other dissociative states of memory and presents a snapshot of the state of the art in research on these strange phenomena.
Déją vu is the eerie feeling of familiarity for something that you know you have not experienced beforethe dissociation between what you feel about your memory and what you know to be true about it. For centuries, it has inspired authors, artists and musicians, leaving psychologists struggling to keep up. The past 20 years though, has seen an explosion in research on déją vu and related experiences. From attempts to generate déją vu in the laboratory, to the study of patients who present with unusual forms of the experience, cognitive psychology has begun applying a range of both novel and established techniques to study these psychological experiences that have long captivated the public imagination.
Déją vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Psychology including Cognitive Psychology, and Neuroscience. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Memory.

Akira OConnor is Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews, USA. His research interests include memory decision-making, particularly how we come to decisions about our memories when faced with multiple sources of conflicting information. His work takes both cognitive and neuroscientific approaches.
Chris Moulin is Professor at the Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition (LPNC UMR 5105) at the Université Grenoble Alpes, France.
