There are many theories about what causes déjà vu. One theory is that it is caused by a temporary glitch in the brain's memory system. When we experience something new, our brains create a memory of it. However, sometimes our brains can make a mistake and create a false memory. This false memory can lead to the feeling of déjà vu.

Another theory is that déjà vu is caused by a split-second delay in the brain's processing of information. When we experience something new, our brains have to process a lot of information very quickly. However, sometimes there can be a brief delay in this processing. This delay can lead to the feeling of déjà vu, because it can make it seem like we are experiencing something that has already happened.
