Jamais Vu
In psychology, ''jamais vu'' ( , , ), a French loanword meaning "never seen", is the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognizes in some fashion, but that nonetheless seems novel and unfamiliar. Overview ''Jamais vu'' involves a sense of eeriness and the observer’s impression of experiencing something for the first time, despite rationally knowing that they have experienced it before. ''Jamais vu'' is commonly explained as when a person momentarily does not recognize a word or, less commonly, a person or place, that they already know. ''Jamais vu'' is sometimes associated with certain types of aphasia, amnesia, and epilepsy. The phenomenon is often grouped with ''déjà vu'' and '' presque vu'' ('' tip of the tongue'', literally "almost seen"). It is generally a rare phenomenon.
