Dj vu!..
Can these amazing feelings be explained, simply by a split second disturbance in the brain, causing the new information coming in to reach long-time memories before, or at the same time as it is received in the part of the brain, where real-time information is normally first perceived?

It may simply be that because of faulty wiring, new information somehow takes a shortcut, being stored in long time memory before, or at the same time, it is perceived as a real-time event. This way a person as far as memory is concerned, is bound to believe it has happened before.

When the person receiving these new pictures where real-time event is received, and compare it with long-time memory he get the feeling of Dj vu, not realising that the information was stored in long-time memory a fraction of a second earlier.

This can also explain why people suffering from epilepsy and seizure experience Dj vu, more often. The brain is the most complex and intricate structure known to man, and so far, we have only discovered a tiny fraction of how it works. The brain can play tricks with us in many other ways apart from Dj vu.
Time can be distort by the brain, it can be perceived as speeding by, or perceived as going very slow, the whole life-story of a person can flash by in seconds under the right conditions. In other cases there has been incidents where the brain make people see object, which is not there. The list goes on and on.
