Research Methods
A researcher sends each participant into a fake "office" room set-up with typical "office" objects and weird "random" objects. After this he has them record what objects they remember seeing.
What type of experiment is this?
Lab!

What is a proposed explanation for why deja vu happens?
Mismatch due to the Hippocampus - A new experience may partially resemble a previous memory that is unrecallable, causing the brain to perceive this new experience as familiar.
Dual Processing (recognition involves recollection and familiarity) - Usually both processes are active at the same time, however there may be cases when only one is active. When the familiarity process is the only active one, a person perceives what they are experiencing to be familiar. Yet, they can’t understand why due to the recollection function not being triggered from a lack of contextual information.
Split Perception Theory - Deja vu happens when you see something twice. First, while being distracted or at the corner for your eye. This causes a memory to start forming. Seeing it a second time, makes it feel familiar since you didn’t process it will enough the first time.
What part of the brain ‘shuts off’ in order to activate flow state?
