It’s psychological! We naturally lean toward things that are holding our interest or attraction. It’s the same with people. When you’re comfortable with someone, you tend to sit closer to them or learn toward that side. If you’re not too comfortable, you’ll settle for the armrest on the opposite side of your body than the person.

While leaning forward in interest, you’ll probably also experience dilated pupils (bigger) and even possibly increased heart rate.

We naturally lean forward because we are literally trying to get closer to the action in order to listen, see and feel whatever situation we are in more thoroughly. It is the same when something perks your interest or you are interested in what someone is saying, we naturally lean forward to convey interest, but also to listen more carefully.

Its to get closer to the object of concentration. To take in the whole image, see every detail clearly.
