children, all of these kinds of music share patterns across cultures, a new study finds.</span> <span data-start-time='17208' data-end-time='27021'>Researchers who set up the study say this suggests a commonality in the way human minds create music.</span> <span data-start-time='27021' data-end-time='32458'>The findings were reported in Science magazine.</span> <span data-start-time='32458' data-end-time='38583'>Samuel Mehr was the lead author of a report on the study.</span> <span data-start-time='38583' data-end-time='46104'> He is a research associate in psychology at Harvard University in Massachusetts.</span> <span data-start-time='46104' data-end-time='58396'>Mehr noted that the study supports “the idea that there is some sort of set of governing rules for how human minds produce music worldwide.”</span> <span data-start-time='58396' data-end-time='68938'>He and other researchers studied musical recordings and ethnographic records from 60 societies around the world.</span> <span data-start-time='68938' data-end-time='82896'>They looked at a mix of very different cultures, such as the Highland Scots in Scotland, Nyangatom nomads in Ethiopia, and Aranda hunter-gatherers in Australia.</span> <span data-start-time='82896' data-end-time='92188'>The researchers found that music had a link with behaviors such as dancing and loving, among others.</span>

data-start-time='101708' data-end-time='113229'>Singh noted that children’s’ lullabies were likely to be slow and fluid while dance songs tended to be fast and lively.</span> <span
