It seems likely that some individual learned of the existence of the historic German urban guerrilla group which went by that name, and then heard the name again soon afterwards. This plucky wordsmith may then have named the phenomenon after the very subject which triggered it. But it is certainly a mouthful; a shorter name might have more hope of penetrating the lexicon."<br /><b>frequency illusion - Stanford</b><br />"Update: Independent reports indicate that the name “Baader-Meinhof phenomenon” was coined on a discussion thread on the St. Paul Pioneer Press circa 1995. Participants were discussing the sensation, and decrying the lack of a term for it, so someone asserted naming rights and called it “Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon” presumably based on their own experience hearing that moniker twice in close temporal proximity.<br /><br />The more scientifically accepted name nowadays is “frequency illusion,” but Stanford linguistics professor Arnold Zwicky didn’t coin that term until 2006, over a decade after “Baader-Meinhof” was coined, and around the same time this article was originally written. So both terms are arguably valid."</i><br /><br /><a href="https://arnoldzwicky.org/about/" rel="nofollow">Arnold Zwicky's Blog</a><br /><a href="https://arnoldzwicky.org/2018/01/29/art-news-from-my-neighborhood/" rel="nofollow">neat image/read… Palo Alto</a><br />Dan… still time - Jan 18, 2018 – Feb 25, 2018<br /><a href="https://www.pacegallery.com/exhibitions/12904/trans-figure#installationPhotoId=10082" rel="nofollow">PACE</a>remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-55838627166756739272018-01-29T14:13:34.145-08:002018-01-29T14:13:34.145-08:00interesting find on the 'Pauli Effect', Ra...interesting find on the 'Pauli Effect', Ramón… are there 'worms' for all the senses… and including the mind? much to mull.<br /><a href="https://www.wired.com/2016/03/david-fathi-wolfgang/" rel="nofollow">"The Pauli Effect"</a><br /><a href="http://www.1000wordsmag.com/david-fathi/" rel="nofollow"> Wolfgang/CERN </a><br /><i> “Wolfgang Pauli actually believed to some extent in this myth of the ‘Pauli effect,’ ” Fathi recalls, “he had a long correspondence with Carl Jung, and developed with him the theory of synchronicity – the idea that some events are linked by meaning and not causality.

The Baader-Meinhof effect is purely about recognizing something you've seen before due to a priming effects. That is, because you saw something earlier, you are now "primed" (that is, especially sensitized) to seeing another instance of it. The priming effect wears off after time, as does the Baader-Meinhof effect. <br /><br />Love the link to the "condominium" island.

Now that you mention it I see the Baader-Meinhof effect all the time. Kind of a double Baader-Meinhof effect effect. <br /><br />I have been whistling songs into Midomi to how it works and it has been great. It knew 'Sunshine of your Love' by Cream right away. <br />It also knew "You made Me Love You" and sent me to the original 1913 Al Jolson version. I can't believe that song is 105 years old. <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzTevhFLkBkGRayRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355369343845540787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-70212870941339511112018-01-25T15:53:37.890-08:002018-01-25T15:53:37.890-08:00Thanks, Gary.

I have to say that many many people in Portugal (and probably everyone in Brazil) would recognize the song you whistled and know at least the first verse (and original title) of the song, "Vou te contar". The musical phrase ending you whistled, though, sounded strange to me. In fact, I just realized I've heard many sung versions (the more famous being probably João Gilberto, Elis Regina, Gal Costa and Nara Leão) but I may have heard the instrumental version very few times. And they differ in that last bit, those last five notes, which are lower (and, to my ear, not as beautiful) in the instrumental version. (The lyrics of that particular ending are "feliz sozinho", meaning "happy alone" — preceded by "é impossível ser = it's impossible to be".)<br /><a href="https://youtu.be/bZPaGpJXIXg?t=26s" rel="nofollow">João Gilberto</a> / <a href="https://youtu.be/ge1fZAjNRAI?t=17s" rel="nofollow">Elis Regina</a> / <a href="https://youtu.be/M1Vp1TKVUy4?t=13s" rel="nofollow">Nara Leão</a><br /><br />In the English lyrics version, that bit is "a dream together" — preceded by "Whenever two can dream". Here's Elis Regina singing it accompanied by Toots Thielemann on the harmonica: <a href="https://youtu.be/yh4su_xGJ84" rel="nofollow">Elis Regina & Toots Thielemans - Wave (Tom Jobim)</a> (that bit is at about 0:30).Luís Miguel Viterbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198394145108636883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-29122061827490979012018-01-24T12:22:23.675-08:002018-01-24T12:22:23.675-08:00Hello, Dr. Russell

And thanks for telling us about the Flash plug-in caution. <br /><br />I have a question, do you try to find the song using Google Assistant? I am almost sure that can give us the answer too but I'd love to confirm. Sadly I can't in Mexico. Find that song is not available here. Thank you!
