Can You Name These Songs?
How long does it take you to recognize a song? Ten seconds? Five? One? How about half a second? Because psychological research says you've got a shot. This week we're joined by Alie Astrocyte from Neurotransmissions to talk about a study where participants were played incredibly short clips of popular songs, and were able to identify them an impressive amount of the time. We look at what that means for researchers and how our brains form memories in the first place, especially when we're learning new songs.
