"It's a familiar pattern of itching and scratching," Dr. Kellaris says. "The only way to 'scratch' a cognitive itch is to rehearse the start involuntarily, as the brain detects an incongruity or something 'exceptional' in the musical stimulus."
So, whenever I start obsessing on "It's a Small World," I should sing it? Bystanders will beat me to death. Thank you, Dr. Kellaris.
