Of late, there's been an upsurge in interest in deja vu amongst academic circles. Here are some resources that students, researchers and people who are interested in their own experience of deja vu may find interesing.
Naturally, Chris is not responsible for the content or quality of
internet sites, and other secondary resources such as books, papers,
articles, or reports. In particular, he considers that you reflect upon the nature of material on the web: Is the author selling something? Are they taking part in the research themselves? Is the work of scientific peer reviewed quality? For an overview of the peer-review process see, SENSE ABOUT SCIENCE. Also, don't miss Ben Goldacre's critique of the scientific process as iewed by the media: BAD SCIENCE.
