Some people constantly encounter the fact that certain melodies get stuck in their brains and are subsequently played back in their minds.

What does this problem indicate? There is an opinion that it is about hidden talent.

American scientists from the University of Santa Cruz conducted a study that showed that melodies do not “stick” to all people.

The experts published the results of their scientific work in the journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics .

The researchers noted that they had surveyed a large number of people who claimed to occasionally "suffer" from songs that "stick" to them.
