It can be fun to hear a catchy tune in your head — until that tune begins to play over and over again! Songs that get stuck in our brain are known as earworms. An earworm can get lodged (留存) in your head after you listen to the tune play out loud. ①But it can also occur if something gives rise to a memory of the song — like visiting the place where you first heard it. Scientists have studied earworms for years. They’ve learned that some tunes stick in your brain more than others. For instance, earworms tend to be faster. They have an easy‑to‑remember melody. And they have unique changes in pitch (音高). By examining brain scans, scientists have also formed an idea about what happens in your head when you have an earworm. When you hear music — or even imagine hearing music — part of the brain called the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) activates. This region is in charge of processing sounds. It sends signals to other parts of the brain linked to memory and emotion. Some scientists think your brain can get temporarily “stuck” sending these signals. And this leads to a song playing in your head on a loop. What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song in the first place? This is still a mystery. But long ago, before people used writing to communicate, we passed along information through song. ②So, we may have developed ways to keep music in our head in order to remember valuable information. Whatever the reason, when a tune gets stuck, it can be, well, annoying! Luckily, there may be ways to get rid of an earworm. You can listen to another song or do a puzzle to distract your mind. Or try chewing gum, which interferes with the way your brain forms memories of music. Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own. Now, that must be music to your ears!
