Even The Blind Get Deja Vu

zentropa writes "Cosmos magazine is reporting that even the blind experience deja vu — backing the idea that it is caused by misfires in the brain's temporal lobe. They quote a British study where a blind man feels like he has 'already seen' some unfamiliar situations. 'Hearing and touch and smell often seem to intermingle in the déjà vu experiences,' said the study subject, whose name has not been made public. 'It is almost like photographic memory, without sight obviously... as if I was encountering a mini-recording in my head, but trying to think "Where have I come across that before?"'"

Another one for British science

Perhaps it's becuase I live here but it seems to me that british scientists seem to spend thier grant money researching all sorts of crap.

Blind people can feel like they remember experiencing stuff too! Like..., Wow!

If you divide a number by zero, you get an undefined^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H a range between -infinity and +infinity and if this occurs anywhere in an equation your result will be undefined^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H a range between -infinity and +infinty

When people kiss they tend to tilt thier heads in the same direction as they did when they were in the womb! Now there's something I didn't know, how much did this brilliant piece of research cost!

How about researching something a bit more useful, cheaper drugs, more effecient energy, useful biology?? No wonder they is no grant money for useful stuff!!
