Want to boost your mood? Turns out it could be as easy as changing how you walk! Prof. Nikolaus Troje of Queens University in Kingston, #Ontario has found that when people adopt a more upbeat style of walking, it makes them feel more positive in general. More information on the study can be found at cifar.ca/change-your-walking-style-change-your-mood If you need some pointers on good posture, be sure to check out the “walker” lights display at the Otto Bock Science Center (located right next to our Kanada Haus in Berlin). These points of light, which are projected on the side of the building after nightfall, simulate the movements of a human being walking. This project is the creation of Prof. Troje as well. Prof. Troje is also engaged in the NSERC-DFG “Brain in Action” International Research Training Group (IRTG), which brings together Philipps University Marburg, Justus Liebig University Gießen and three Canadian universities.
