[ANPPOM-Lista] Earworm Project

Ter Ago 7 19:21:31 BRT 2012

Torço que o resultado dessa pesquisa não caia em mãos erradas. Nos anos 40
tentaram construir um computador capaz de compor canções de sucesso. Talvez
os algoritmos estejam sendo encontrados hoje...
A parte da brincadeira (espero), é muito interessante essa pesquisa.
Abraços,

Gabriel Ferrão Moreira

> Earworm Project Why do tunes get stuck in our heads?
>
> *The Music, Mind and Brain group is currently running a number of
> projects examining the nature of earworms. We are funded by the British
> Academy and our projects run in partnership with 6Music (BBC Radio).*

> What are '*earworms'*?
>
> The term *earworm* originally comes from a translation of the German word
> 'Ohrwurm'. It refers to the experience of having a tune or a part of a tune
> stuck in your head. Often a person experiencing an earworm has no idea why
> a tune has popped into their head and has little control over how long it
> continues. Earworms are a really common phenomenon: A recent poll suggested
> over* 90% *of the population experience them at least once a week, so it
> seems like having the odd earworm is perfectly normal. But 15% of people
> classified their earworms as  "disturbing" [1]<http://www.gold.ac.uk/music-mind-brain/earworm-project/#_ftn1>and in a different study one third of the people described their earworms
> as "unpleasant" [2]<http://www.gold.ac.uk/music-mind-brain/earworm-project/#_ftn2>- This means that although earworms are essentially harmless they can get
> in the way of what you are trying to do and can stop you from thinking
> straight.
>
> Despite the prevalent nature of earworms and the potential impact they can
> have on our normal thought processes very little is known about what causes
> earworms, why they happen to some people more than others and why some
> tunes are more commonly heard as an earworm than others.*This is where
> our research comes in!*
>

> *Our Projects*
>
>    - *Project 1: What features do typical earworm music tunes have in
>    common?* - Are some tunes naturally more 'sticky'?
>
> *NEWS! We *have completed the first run of this project using over 1000
> reports of earworm tunes. We used computational methods to analyse the
> structure of the tunes that were reported as earworms and then compared
> these tunes to 'control songs' to see which parts of the musical structure
> make a tune more 'sticky'. Our model is continuing to grow and develop in
> strength as we get more and more reports. To keep you updated, we can tell
> you that the current model can predict whether a tune has the potential to
> be an earworm with over 80% success. We are currently re-analysing our
> dataset to update our model and very soon we will have our first paper on
> this subject.
>

>
>    - *Project 2: What do people who frequently experience earworms have
>    in common? - *Are musicians or music lovers more vulnerable? What
>    about people with different personality types?
>
> *NEWS! We *have completed the first run of this project using nearly 2000
> reports of earworm tunes. We used statistical techniques to determine
> whether certain types of people were more likely to experience earworms. To
> keep you updated, we have found some fascinating relationships between
> personality and earworms.Our first paper on this subject has been submitted
> for publication and we hope to provide further details soon.
>
>
>
>    - *Project 3: What causes earworms? - *Are some situations more 'high
>    risk'?  Can earworms have a purpose?
>
> *NEWS! *- We have completed their analyses of over 3000 earworm reports
> provided by the general public using our questionnaire<http://earwormery.com/>and 6 Music contacts. To summarise, the results of this analysis have shown
> that while the music in our environment has an effect on our earworm
> experiences,  especially when we hear music repeatedly and outside of our
> control, this is not the only factor that leads to spontaneous musical
> imagery. The reports we have received highlighted the importance of
> spreading activation in memory (both personal memory and memory for simple
> knowledge and facts), as well as the effects of mood and attention states
> on the type of music that we hear in our heads.
>
> Our paper on this project is now published!! You can find it in the Psychology
> of Music Online first.<http://pom.sagepub.com/content/early/2011/09/17/0305735611418553.abstract>Please contact Vicky

>    - *Project 4: What cures earworms? - *We are currently building a
>    database of 'earworm cures', supplied by kind members of the public. Have
>    you worked out a way to control your earworms? Have you worked out a trick
>    for silencing the stuck tune? Do you know of a melody or sound that you can
>    play or imagine that knocks out an earworm without itself getting stuck? If
>    the answer to any of these questions is 'yes' then we would love to hear
>    from you!

> …By telling us about you and your earworm experiences at
