The Wink Measured By Berlin Scientist
A Berlin scientist measured the duration of a wink using a special photographic device and paper marks on the eyelid. He found the total wink lasts about four tenths of a second from start to finish, with downward and upward eye movements quantified and the instant of clasing varying between .16 and .17 of a second. The article notes the result extends time measurement to a finer scale and hints at studying variations like the sly wink and the wink of the other eye.
