fMRI evidence supporting the role of memory conflict in the déjà vu experience
Urquhart, Sivakumaran, Macfarlane and O'Connor, Memory 29(7), published online 2018, 921-932. Modified word-list false memory task pairing false familiarity with cues showing it was mistaken. 21 participants, 16 reported déjà vu. Imaging showed activity in conflict-related regions (anterior cingulate, medial prefrontal, parietal). Participants were more likely to report déjà vu for lures correctly labelled new; resolving memory conflict may be central.
