Why do people pull funny faces when concentrating?

200 viewsBiologyOther

Both my old teaching assistant and CEO of my company pulled funny faces when concentrating.

When concentrating on drawing art, my old teacher would bite her tongue. The CEO of my company also pulled funny faces when it comes to ideation; creating new ideas.

I saw her reflection on a computer screen doing it.

Why do many ladies tend to pull funny faces when concentrating?

The only common denominator I have observed is that they are both females, ladies.

Do ladies tend to pull funny faces when concentrating and alone? Has anyone else observed this?
