Their work is particularly aimed at understanding chronic déjà vu, where patients are constantly plagued by the feeling of having "been here before".

But University of Leeds researchers report for the first time the case of a blind person experiencing déjà vu through smell, hearing and touch.The University is a world-leader in déjà vu research. It sounds like a contradiction in terms - but the first case study of its kind has turned the whole theory of déjà vu on its head.Traditionally it was thought images from one eye were delayed, arriving in the brain microseconds after images from the other eye - causing a sensation that something was being seen for the second time.
