A Dissertation On Winking And Its Timings
The article surveys why we wink and how long a wink lasts. Garten measured wink phases with a photometric setup, finding downward movement about 0.075 to 0.091 seconds, a brief bottom rest, then a slower upward rise. Total wink duration around 0.40 seconds, with varied durations across individuals. Henri notes variation in wink frequency and patterns, influenced by attention and rest periods.
