I’m so intrigued - what was going on inside Hansen's brain?

Makes sense when talking about human postures and emotions.

Victory/elation/worship corresponds to extending the arms above the head or in a "V" shape, sorrow/grief corresponds to dropping to the knees and holding the head in the hands, etc. These associations seem to persist despite language barriers and great spans of time.
