how’s this impressive? anyone with half a brain will know the next note. obviously it’s “programmed” into our brain. 99% of humans also know that 1+1=2 (seems more like 50% unfortunately)

@floydiot This video isn’t going to impress everyone, obviously. It’s only going to appeal to people with an interest of human behaviour, logic, reasoning and innate responses (those musically, psychologically and philosophically just to name a few degrees of knowledge base). The whole point of the article/video/study is to offer some understanding human intuition, logical reasoning and essentially the human condition.

@musicalmiller yeah, but a lot of people don’t even know what a pentatonic scale is…you can’t expect them to know which note comes next in the scale if they don’t even know what he’s talking about…yet they did figure out the rest of the notes (out of the other 9 possible notes in the chromatic scale)…so it has a little bit of amazing what Bobby did there…

why are people saying that he gave them 3 out of 11 notes? Am I missing something, since the PENTatonic scale only has 5 notes… is it including semitones?

Okay a bit disappointed in Bobby here. How could not make the audience play Close Encounters? What a missed opportunity.

@floydiot But this is not an acquired knowledge. You learn the function of addition in school, but this scale is already HARDWIRED.
