Does posture affect one's ability to process information? How do you sit when you're concentrating?

>> No.8605521

I have a standing desk. I'll be honest: shit sucks for concentration. I guess I lean out of desperation.

If you twist an cable transferring an electric signal, does it affect the information going through it?

Then I suppose must be the same for us?

The analogy isn't valid. The spinal cord is more like a circuit board than a cable. And 'extra' sensory information from aberrant posture has been suggested by research to be a factor in migraine. The mechanism being simply that the posture information processing centres in the brain work harder therefore need more blood. Anything that demands more blood flow while you are trying to learn could in theory divert resources from learning.

Plus, good thoracic posture may conceivably allow better lung function and oxygenation of the blood.

Very weird but if I uplift my shoulders I articulate better, eloquent. It's mostly when I put my 'man' mode on low-profile, so for example: when I have an internship I go into this mode and it works very well. Can't do it in my private life for some reason becouse I'll feel naked and not accepted. It's more for the corporate world.

Hope you guys understand what I'm saying.
