[en] Humans rely on familiarity in many situations in everyday life. Yet its cognitive and neural bases have received less attention than those of recollection. In this opinion presentation, we will emphasize the complex nature of familiarity and focus on two dimensions: its representational dimension and its phenomenal dimension. A better understanding of these dimensions may support the identification of common processes to a variety of memory phenomena, such as déjà vu and involuntary autobiographical memory.
