SHOOT: I had deja vu prior to my mother's death, and prior to being in a brutal car accident.
The issue of deja vu is important because a Crown witness and former friend of Bain earlier told the court that Bain raised with her the concept of deja vu and asked if she knew what it was.
She earlier told the court that Bain gave examples of being able to see things before they happened.
Dr Brinded said deja vu is a normal experience, particularly in young people and anxious people.
He said only 10 per cent of the population report not experiencing deja vu.
Dr Brinded said it was one of the most "unusual and disturbing experiences that a normal person can have".
He also said the trances that one Crown witness said Bain went into during a concert before the deaths are "normal dissociative experience or day dreaming".
Under cross-examination by Crown prosecutor Kieran Raftery, Dr Brinded was asked if he was aware of a study of offenders which found 70 per cent of them experienced post-trauma amnesia.
