Researchers found the hidden picture in Yankee Doodle melody

Is it possible to music bear hidden images? We do not talk about visualization of music by an artist, but the real decoding of already existing famous melodies. You know that a melody has own character and not every text goes well with to form a song. But can we look at an internal structure with science approach?Show more

The new algorithm allows to type a melody note by note and to see a path of a melody through Time/Space structure. Researchers used a common psychology-law of Weber-Fechner and created a diagram that uncovers the hidden relationship between notes.

So, what if some famous melody we know hides something different that we used to expect from a text of a song? A hidden image can convince unconsciously, so that's why it important to see what's inside.
Yankee Doodle is very famous and old melody originated in Europe. Nobody knows who is an author, so it's more interesting to look into the hidden structure.

A musician can use the special app and type musical notes on the menu with musical sheets, and the algorithm converts the notes on Time/Space diagram. On the video, we see a process of adding notes directly on the diagram. After finalization, the screen-record from the app is shown.

The picture seems like a dagger, or another similar shape has an old-fashioned helmet. Another object that much more exciting, it's a shape of a wig and hat on the old picture of "The Macaroni. A real Character at the late Masquerade". So the text of the song correlates with a melody very well and maybe it's a reason for popularity of the song.
