Slade Trillgon Siorai Iontach Brotherhood of the Spider	Posted - 2008.07.15 17:38:00 - [1] The EVE forums are my first and only experience to forums so I apologize if I should have not started a new thread. This is a sub topic and I was not sure if it would be a derail and I thought that it could use separate thread. This was in response to TXÆs post on the Pink Helicopter song being stuck in his head. Also and introduction to this book for individuals that believe that there is more to music then meets the ear. The following information was found today as I was reading part of Daniel J. LevitinsÆ book called This Is Your Brain On Music. Ear Worms come from the German word Ohrwurm. It is known scientifically as the instance where a song or more often a snip of a song gets stuck in your head. For most ônormalö individuals the length of the song that tends to get stuck is usually the length Echoic memory. Echoic memory is known as our short-term auditory capacity typically ranging within the range of 15-30 seconds. It also typically occurs with simple songs, like Pink Helicopter, or the jingles used in commercials. It seems that most often musicians get them but as we all know we all get them from time to time. Individuals suffering with OCD are particularly prone to getting Ear Worms and have been treated medically to reduce the occurrences of Ear Worms. The excerpt was found on page 155 in the 2nd paragraph for citation purposes. Well I hope this is found interesting by at least a few people.

Micheal Dietrich Caldari Terradyne Networks	Posted - 2008.07.15 17:42:00 - [3] Interesting stuff but the phrase ear worms is creeping me out. And for the record I have smashmouth's 'why can't we be friends' mix stuck in my head currently. Don't know why cause I haven't listen to that cd in years.

I have been, for the last 4 years, wondering what those stinking bugs are. I came back from 4 years in South Florida to find that these things are all over my hometown. They were, for a fact, not around when I was growing up. Thanks for the link O7. It was introduced to the US in the early 1900's, and has found the mid atlantic states to be a hospitable environment.

Slade We got those up here in the northwest too. Hasn't been too bad of a problem this year though. My yearly seasonal plague has been frogs and lizards. Last year it was paper wasps, year before that earwigs, and the year before that locusts. When I catch em on the screen door I stick my lighter up to em. Ya hear a little pop and they fall down.

Ya hear a little pop and they fall down. Uncanny, I do the same thing, LMAO!!! Ugly little buggers. The funny thing is that they are less of a pest then I had previously thought since they are omnivours and do eat many garden pests.

Slade Trillgon Siorai Iontach Brotherhood of the Spider	Posted - 2008.07.16 10:23:00 - [10] Back on topic. Ear Worms are stuck in the head via similar pathways that hiccups occur. Scientist have also tried to link music heard while in the womb influence primary musical taste in adults. Research has been done in the UK looking at women listening to music in the last trimester and if infants a year later would be able to recognize a difference in similar songs a year later. What the researchers did is that they played distinct song from different genres and from major artists like, Classical, Top 40, Reggae, and Rock. The mothers were instructed to not listen to the test songs for the following year. After a year had passed the researchers set up an experiment to test wether or not babies preffered the songs that they had heard in the last 3 months in their mothers womb. Well, you ask how do you know what the baby prefferes? Well they used an auditory technique, conditioning head turning procedure, that was created back in the 1960's by Robert Franz. How this works is that they set the infant in the mothers lap and set two speakers equal distances from the two on each side. When the child turns its head the researchers would play a song that they had not played during the time in the womb. When the infant turns its head to the other speaker they play a song from the same genre that had been played while the infant was inutero. They found that the child would quickley learn the process and spend more time with their heads turned towards the speaker playing the songs that they had heard while inutero. Our brains are are real sensitive to musical patterns and the researchers draw one conclusion that people have a tendency to lean towards music that they heard during their mothers last trimester as their primary musical choice. This is by no means hard proof but still interesting. Similar research is being done with fetus liguistic training.

I've heard they're quite good at speeding up the healing for larger regular wounds since they eat bad/infected/diseased/dead tissue while releasing some kind of goo that speeds up healing. --- Originally by: Torfi There's alot.
