Waaaay off topic but Boris, you look incredibly similar to a friend of mine from my childhood!!
Here is his most current album cover.



He has more tattoos but the similarity is freaky.

i invited a all organic ant killer made from stuff in the kitchen but the only one who bought and my only reapeat costumer was my mom.Really

I think their is an electrical component in all of this at the synaptic level. It seems that you would have to get the right receptors and nuerons identified first.

Once you have that you'd have to look at the chemical/hormonal make up for the catalyst.

Thinking outloud here, that's all...

PEACE...

Yes I read about the government working with ideas like this one but never directing impulses to the long term memory instead of the short term. Only ways of making you remember more of what you neurologically encounter. Man IKN, you seriously did rain on my parade if what you say is true.

So much for being rich. Sorry for your missed Idea. Maybe the next.

Well anyways, if you ever get to actualy making it, there is one cheap and effective way to test the drug... Hobos!!

If someone could isolate the hormone that initiates deja vu, it would be valuable for many different things.

In certain types of epilepsy, one of the main "effects" is a perpetual feeling of deja vu. My guess is the brain biochemistry of such a feeling has been explored, at least minimally, at this point.
