What is déjà vu? What is déjà vu? - Michael Molina

Šta je "deža vi"? Šta je "deža vi"? - Majkl Molina (Michael Molina)

Prevodilac: Miloš Milosavljević Lektor: Tatjana Jevdjic

Have you experienced déjà vu?

Jeste li nekad doživeli "deža vi"?

It's that shadowy feeling you get when a situation seems familiar.

To je onaj nejasan osećaj koji imate

kad vam situacija izgleda poznata.

A scene in a restaurant plays out exactly as you remember.

Scena u restoranu se odvija

tačno onako kako se sećate.

The world moves like a ballet you've choreographed,

Svet se kreće kao balet

za koji ste vi napravili koreografiju,

but the sequence can't be based on a past experience

ali ta scena ne može biti zasnovana na prošlom iskustvu

because you've never eaten here before.

jer nikada ranije niste ručali ovde.

This is the first time you've had clams,

To je bio prvi put da ste jeli školjke.

Šta se onda to dešava?

so what's going on?

Unfortunately, there isn't one single explanation for déjà vu.

Nažalost, ne postoji samo jedno objašnjenje za "deža vi".

The experience is brief and occurs without notice,

Doživljaj je kratak

i javlja se bez upozorenja

i zbog toga je naučnicima skoro nemoguće

making it nearly impossible for scientists to record and study it.

da ga snime i prouče.

Scientists can't simply sit around and wait for it to happen to them --

Naučnici ne mogu samo da sede

i čekaju da se desi -

to bi moglo da potraje godinama.

this could take years.

It has no physical manifestations

Nema fizičkih ispoljavanja

and in studies,

i u proučavanjima ga opisuju

it's described by the subject as a sensation or feeling.

kao osećaj ili osećanje.

Because of this lack of hard evidence,

Zbog ovog nedostatka čvrstih dokaza

there's been a surplus of speculation over the years.

bilo je suviše nagađanja tokom godina.

Since Emile Boirac introduced déjà vu

Otkad je Emil Borak uveo pojam "deža vi",

as a French term meaning "already seen,"

što na francuskom znači "već viđeno",

more than 40 theories attempt to explain this phenomenon.

preko 40 teorija je pokušalo

da objasni ovaj fenomen.

Still, recent advancements in neuroimaging and cognitive psychology

Ipak, novija istraživanja u neuro-skeniranju

i kognitivnoj psihologiji

narrow down the field of prospects.

sužavaju panoramu.

Let's walk through three of today's more prevalent theories,

Hajde da prođemo

kroz tri najdominantnije teorije danas,

using the same restaurant setting for each.

koristeći isti model restorana za svaku od njih.

First up is dual processing.

Prva je dvostruka obrada.

We'll need an action.

Treba nam neka radnja.

Let's go with a waiter dropping a tray of dishes.

Uzmimo konobara kome ispada poslužavnik sa tanjirima.

As the scene unfolds,

Kako se scena razvija

your brain's hemispheres process a flurry of information:

hemisfere vašeg mozga obrađuju

kovitlac informacija:

the waiter's flailing arms,

ruke konobara koje se spuštaju,

his cry for help,

njegov poziv u pomoć,

the smell of pasta.

miris testenine.

Within milliseconds, this information zips through pathways

U par milisekundi

ova informacija projuri neuronskim putevima

and is processed into a single moment.

i obradi se kao jedan trenutak.

Most of the time, everything is recorded in-sync.

Uglavnom je sve snimljeno sinhronizovano.

However, this theory asserts

Ova teorija potvrđuje

that déjà vu occurs when there's a slight delay

da se "deža vi" javlja kad postoji malo kašnjenje

in information from one of these pathways.

u informaciji sa jednog od ovih puteva.

The difference in arrival times

Razlika u vremenima dolaska

causes the brain to interpret the late information

uzrokuje da mozak protumači zakasnelu informaciju

kao odvojen događaj.

as a separate event.

When it plays over the already-recorded moment,

Kad se on reprodukuje preko već snimljenog trenutka,

it feels as if it's happened before

oseća se kao da se dogodio ranije,

because, in a sense, it has.

jer u nekom smislu i jeste.

Our next theory deals with a confusion of the past

Naša sledeća teorija se bavi zbrkom prošlosti,

rather than a mistake in the present.

a ne greškom u sadašnjosti.

This is the hologram theory,

Ovo je teorija holograma

and we'll use that tablecloth to examine it.

i koristićemo stolnjak da bismo je ispitali.

Dok gledate njegove kocke

As you scan its squares,

a distant memory swims up from deep within your brain.

udaljena memorija isplivava

iz dubina vašeg mozga.

According to the theory,

Po ovoj teoriji,

this is because memories are stored

ovo je zbog toga što su sećanja uskladištena

in the form of holograms,

u obliku holograma,

and in holograms,

a u hologramima

you only need one fragment to see the whole picture.

vam treba samo jedan fragment

da biste videli celu sliku.

Your brain has identified the tablecloth with one from the past,

Vaš mozak je identifikovao stolnjak

sa nekim sličnim iz prošlosti,

maybe from your grandmother's house.

možda iz kuće vaše bake.

Ipak, umesto sećanja

However, instead of remembering that you've seen it at your grandmother's,

da ste videli ovu šaru u kući vaše bake,

your brain has summoned up the old memory

vaš mozak je prizvao staro sećanje

without identifying it.

bez njenog identifikovanja.

This leaves you stuck with familiarity, but no recollection.

Po ovome, koristite bliskost,

ali ne i sećanje.

Although you've never been in this restaurant,

Iako nikad niste bili u ovom restoranu,

you've seen that tablecloth but are just failing to identify it.

videli ste ovaj stolnjak,

ali prosto niste uspeli da ga identifikujete

Now, look at this fork.

Sada pogledajte ovu viljušku.

Are you paying attention?

Je l' pazite?

Our last theory is divided attention,

Naša poslednja teorija je podeljena pažnja

and it states that déjà vu occurs

i ona kaže da se "deža vi" javlja

when our brain subliminally takes in an environment

kad naš mozak podsvesno upija okruženje,

while we're distracted by one particular object.

dok nam pažnju odvlači jedan predmet.

When our attention returns,

Kad nam se pažnja vrati

we feel as if we've been here before.

osećamo kao da smo bili tu pre.

For example, just now you focused on the fork

Na primer, upravo ste se fokusirali na viljušku

and didn't observe the tablecloth or the falling waiter.

i niste osmotrili stolnjak

ili konobara koji pada.

Although your brain has been recording everything

Iako vaš mozak sve snima

in your peripheral vision,

vašim perifernim vidom,

it's been doing so below conscious awareness.

to radi prilično nesvesno.

When you finally pull yourself away from the fork,

Kad konačno skrenete pogled

sa viljuške,

you think you've been here before because you have,

mislite da ste ovde već bili,

zato što i jeste,

you just weren't paying attention.

samo niste obraćali pažnju.

While all three of these theories share the common features of déjà vu,

I dok sve ove tri teorije

dele zajedničke osobine "deža vija",

none of them propose to be the conclusive source

nijedna od njih ne daje konačno rešenje

ovog fenomena.

of the phenomenon.

Still, while we wait for researchers and inventers

I dok čekamo da istraživači i inovatori

to come up with new ways to capture this fleeting moment,

smisle nove načine

da uhvate ovaj prolazni trenutak,

we can study the moment ourselves.

možemo da ga proučavamo sami.

After all, most studies of déjà vu are based on first-hand accounts,

Na kraju, većina studija "deža vija"

je zasnovana na svedočenjima iz prve ruke,

so why can't one be yours?

pa zašto jedno od njih ne bi bilo vaše?

The next time you get déjà vu, take a moment to think about it.

Sledeći put kad budete imali "deža vi"

razmislite za trenutak o njemu.

Have you been distracted?

Da li vam je pažnja bila odvučena?

Da li je tu negde poznati predmet?

Is there a familiar object somewhere?

Da li vam je mozak prosto radio sporo?

Is your brain just acting slow?

Or is it something else?

Ili je nešto drugo u pitanju?
