The scientific study of music's deep correlation with autobiographical memories gained prominence in the early 2000s, when the term “music-evoked autobiographical memory” was coined by cognitive neuroscientist Petr Janata and colleagues, who first described the phenomenon in healthy undergraduate students.
Research suggests we listen to the same songs repeatedly because of musical nostalgia. One major study, published in the journal Memory & Cognition, found that music enables the mind to evoke memories of the past, known as music-evoked autobiographical memories. [85]
Emerging evidence suggests that music is a strong cue for autobiographical memories. Compared to face-evoked, food-evoked, and television-evoked cues, music-evoked autobiographical memory cues were found to be more salient through measures including episodic richness, personal significance, and recall.
Retrieval of episodic musical memory, which includes music-evoked autobiographical memory, resulted in activation bilaterally in the middle and superior frontal gyri and the precuneus. Although bilateral activation was found there was dominance in the right hemisphere. This research suggests independence of episodic and semantic musical memory.

Autobiographical memory refers to knowledge about events and personal experiences from an individual's own life. Autographical memories are facilitated by aids including verbal, face-evoked, picture-evoked, odour-evoked, and music-evoked autobiographical memory cues.
Hyperthymesia, also known as hyperthymestic syndrome or highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), is a condition that leads people to be able to remember an abnormally large number of their life experiences in vivid detail.
Stefan Koelsch's main fields of research include perception, [5] attention, [6] working memory, [7] emotion, [8] music therapy, [9] and personality. [10] Based on his research he concludes that the neural resources of music- and language-processing overlap strongly, and that activity in any brain structure that plays a causal role for emotions can be influenced by music.
