Throughout our life we gradually accumulate experience of pieces of music that we listen to repeatedly.
Our “favourites” become embedded in our memory in rich detail.
The briefest sensation of a fragment of one of our favourites can trigger the playing of the extended piece within our mind.
If you did not recognise all the earlier brief samples, here are slightly extended samples:
Favourite 1
Favourite 2
Favourite 3
How long can you keep each memory track playing in your head?
