Psychology researchers have a new term—jamais vu. It’s when something familiar feels unreal or novel in some way.

Summary

  1. Jamais vu is even rarer than déjà vu.
  2. It could involve looking at a familiar face and finding it suddenly unfamiliar.
  3. It could be a musician losing their way in a familiar passage of music, or getting confused on a familiar road.
