The study found that around 70% of participants experienced jamais vu after approximately 33 repetitions.

"The Bizarre Phenomenon That Distorts Reality and How You Can Control It"

Researchers have been investigating the phenomenon of jamais vu, the opposite of déjà vu, where something familiar feels unreal or novel. In a lab setting, participants were asked to repeatedly write the same word, and 70% of them stopped because things began to feel strange or jamais vu. The study suggests that jamais vu serves as a signal that something has become too automatic or repetitive, helping us "snap out" of our current processing and providing a reality check.
