<p>This phenomenon has many names. In the UK it is called "ear worm" in Russia "obsessive melody." Psychologists call it cognitive itch, uncontrollable. Melody is "stuck" in the head and a few days wandering around in a circle as long as it does not run out of resources. </p>

<p>But it is only at the time of hiding, to the best of times again start their annoying run. Sometimes this occupation may last for several months. Without any apparent reason every day you walk and humming to himself the same song with a simple text. And it is good if the melody you originally liked, but no! She treacherously invaded your head and does not want to give up their positions.</p>
<p>The term "earworm" has any relation to the physical parasites. However, according to psychologists, some unknown force really stuck in that part of the brain that plays sounds. A team of researchers from the University of goldsmiths in London have assembled a database consisting of more than 5,000 haunting melodies. According to experts, every person stored in memory to different memories, but the songs that get stuck in your head, have a simple motif and just recently played on some radio stations. </p>
<p>The chances of sudden invasion significantly increase if the song is in hot rotation. You can also become a victim if you overheard a colleague all day walking and humming a familiar tune. It's like a chain reaction.</p>

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Sacks">Oliver Sacks</a> in his book explains this phenomenon with the sensitivity of the brain to musical works. Harmony in the melodies determined by the repetition, and the verses always alternate with chorus. This cycle (always a recurring line in the song, the fifth audition of the day) is in itself obsessive. It suppresses, to make sensitive the brain is helpless. </p>
<p>Thus, there is a new cycle – a haunting melody that walks in the head in a circle. Some people have informed Dr. Sacks that could get rid of the interloper in that case, if you sang this song out loud to the end. But in some cases this technique did not help to get rid of the uninvited guest, and only heightened the effect of her presence. </p>
<p>Music containing endless repetition, the company found itself in the form of other things that we regularly encounter. What is unusual in the fence, by which you go to work every morning? It consists of a set of identical elements, but every time you think "pulls" some new items, such as defects or protruding nail. </p>

<p>Every time you look at this from a different angle fence or in a different light. Well, if you listen to haunting song in stereo, you will discover how the sound comes out of sync and one of the other speakers. All these subtle nuances engraved in the minds of deep furrows, fertile ground for obsessive melodies. </p>
<p>The song is more likely to penetrate your brain if it has an unusual distinguishing feature. Unexpected accession to a brass band will increase with effect from listening to simple songs. There must be something that touches the listener (recitative, mixing genres and other tricks). </p>
<p>The musicians know how to bait the hook on the hook. We may have found the key to understanding the mechanism of this phenomenon. Smooth and quiet melody without sudden transitions or introductions hardly so well remembered by the listener. There must be something, otherwise she will sink into the depths of human thoughts and memories.</p>
<p>Particularly resistant "ear worms" dormant in the depths of the subconscious mind can again start its run, it is only someone mention their name. This fact proves that the obsessive melodies are long-term memory phenomenon, and are not just echoes of melodies, listened yesterday. </p>

<p>Modern cognitive researchers have found that working memory is divided into two main components, the so-called "slave system" and the central executive body, giving orders. Such a structure is required for filtration, screening and selection of the information coming into the brain daily.</p>
<p>In function "slave systems" to capture and save sounds for a certain period of time. Often occurs such a situation: a man sits down to plan a list of things to do today, as his head was immediately occupied a third-party idle thoughts. In the inner ear get stuck a few musical bars or a half a verse of the song. It's distracting, and sometimes annoying.</p>
<p>Modern cognitive science suggests that the search for self-identity - is not the only process that occurs in our minds. The mind forms its own world, which is to look into the full, we will never succeed. Man will never be able to have full control over the processes that take place in his head.</p>

<p>Fortunately, psychology can give some ideas to rein in the unruly mind. If you talk about getting rid of haunting melodies, the solution approach can be found in "the problem of the polar bear". The essence of another psychological phenomenon is simple: if a very long time to try not to think about some things (for example, about the polar bear), it would be even more annoying to continue to climb in the head. The same principle works with motifs-hangers.</p>
<p>You can't just order them not to be reproduced in the mind, as well as can't turn off my inner ear, because it is a vital part of the cognitive mechanism for learning and playing sounds. One way out: try to hum other songs with similar motives. Fortunately only seven notes, and the melodies are very often repeated. This will help to undermine the uniqueness of the environment, most of those ridges, where they like to live "ear worms". </p>
