Hi Daniel - I have heard this "baseline" concept over my years but have never thought of it in the context of observation of another. Makes a lot of sense - kind of explains the various opinions on polygraph tests. I really like the "blink test" you talk about. I am fascinated by that. Curious if you have actually been able to take advantage of it?

Body language has been poked and prodded for years - I took a course in NLP years ago that has long stayed with me and am fascinated by any who talk further on that idea. Some profess you talk to them without speaking - that is a bit disconcerting. Anyway Daniel, thank you for your article. May you continue on your journey in warmth and sunshine……….Zidor
