Body

The Body cluster explores how physical actions — posture, movement, breathing, and physiological awareness — influence mental performance, emotional state, and decision-making. These experiments draw on research in embodied cognition, exercise science, and psychophysiology.

Why Body Matters

Your body is not just a vehicle for your brain. Research increasingly shows that physical states shape cognitive and emotional outcomes. Standing tall can shift your confidence. Walking can unlock creativity. Reinterpreting your heartbeat can change how stress affects you.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Posture experiments that explore how body position affects confidence and presence
  • Movement experiments that use walking and exercise to boost creativity and focus
  • Stress physiology experiments that reframe the body’s stress response as a resource rather than a threat

Start Here

If you’re new to the Body cluster, start with the Stress Reframing experiment — it’s quick (5 minutes), requires no special setup, and has solid evidence behind it. Then try a Walking Meeting to experience the creativity boost of movement firsthand.
