synchronized minds

It is hard to believe that all our brains can be programmed to function in the same pattern, but the world science festival proved just that. The audience performed in synchrony a pentatonic musical scale. The conductor assigned different parts of the stage a tone which the audience would repeat. The audience would descend the scale in tune then ascend the scale predicting the next tone of the scale. For an entire audience to predict the next tone in synchrony demonstrates that our brains are not as individual as we think.
There always needs to be a constant variable in life to unite us. Some people communicate around a hobby, or meet at a coffee house or unite for a good cause. Whatever the case, constants are a necessary aspect of life to unite people. This video not only proves that music is a unifying constant, but also that it is naturally ingrained in our brains.
If we all can achieve the same tone of a pentatonic scale, then our brains are programmed in a similar way. If we can all sing alike then maybe there is programmed method of thinking too. This video could demonstrate larger principals of our brains patterns
