Deja vu’s lesser-known opposite: why do we experience jamais vu?

Science Weekly

Twice a week, the Guardian brings you the latest science and environment news

Research into this odd feeling recently won an Ig Nobel prize, which is awarded to science that makes you laugh, then think. Ian Sample speaks to Ig Nobel recipient Dr Akira O’Connor about why he wanted to study jamais vu, what he thinks is happening in our brains, and what it could teach us about memory going right, and wrong.
