Scientists in Germany reported Thursday that this often-described sense of lost-hiker deja vu, of having inadvertently backtracked while wandering in the woods, is real. "People really do walk in circles," said Dr. Jan Souman of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen.
Souman, who studies multisensory perception, and his colleagues tracked the movements of volunteers sent into the wilds of a German forest and the desert sands of Tunisia.
"You cannot trust your own senses at all," said Carol Stone White, an author and editor who has chronicled hikers' exploits, awesome and otherwise, in "Adirondack Peak Experiences" and other books.
