An earworm is when a song one has heard before gets stuck in one's head and replays itself over and overagain, sometimes for days on end. Earworms may start randomly whenever the mind is at rest, or when oneexperiences something that he or she associates with the song. Interestingly, earworms can be transmitted fromperson to person. When a person starts humming a tune, people in the vicinity who are also familiar with the tunemay catch the earworm.  Neurologist Oliver Sacks suggests that earworms may be a product of modern life; people are subjected totunes everywhere, and thus, some of the background noise attaches itself to the brain. In fact, earworms havebecome so frequent that the phenomenon has become a topic of academic research. According to a consumerpsychologist, an earworm is actually a sort of brain "itch." To scratch the itch, the brain repeats the tune. Thepsychologist recommends listening to a song all the way through to avoid the itch. If you still catch the earworm,however, don't panic. Even if you do nothing, the worm will go away on its own sooner or later.  Then, why does the brain itch? Music seems to have a powerful ability to affect the human consciousness. Sadmusic can make people cry, while relaxing music can relieve stress. Likewise, loud and fast music urges people tomove faster. These psychological and behavioral effects speak to the sensitivity humans have to musical sounds.  With these scientific findings, more and more people are becoming aware of earworms and their influence onthe brain. Advertising industries often use repetitive and catchy music to make their ads stick in the head. In thefuture, it is possible that consumers will need to protect themselves from the invasion of music into their mentalspaces.
