You're referring to a psychological effect, he's referring to an autonomic. It's the same way the you don't tend to notice your heart rate increase and decrease as you move around unless it's major.
- Raphmedia 7y agoThe opening post was about a psychological effect to which this poster responded "No. I wrote up the computations explaining why." and linked to a paper which had as a conclusion an increase in breathing rates. My point is that a crowded room likely has more than one causes which could explain why productivity is lowered and decisions making worsened. You won't notice an autonomic response but your brain likely will and it might very well answer by releasing adrenaline, cortisol, etc., and make you more anxious and stressed to encourage you to leave the environment that is causing the increased breathing rates.
