Melody's Brain Trick
What is a melody, and why do we remember it?
You wake up with a tune stuck in your head — again. Three notes, over and over, like a friendly ghost that moved in while you slept. What is this thing called a melody, and why won't your brain let it go?
A melody is a sequence of notes that your brain hears as one coherent thought. Not random beeps — a shape made of sound, like how five dots can form a star. Your ears catch the individual notes, but your mind connects them into a single memorable line that says "I am one thing, remember me."
