Physicists delving into biological systems. A very useful approach though the
assumptions can be inaccurate.
Blinking frequency is also a function of activity. One suspects this decreases
when posing for a a group picture. He also used a system with a faster sych
speed than my OM-2. I would rather trust Dr. Flash's judgment as to how many
shots are required for a keeper.

Perhaps I missed the beginning of this thread, but there is research in.
The 2006 Ig Nobel Prize for Mathematics went to Nic Svenson and Piers
Barnes from the CSIRO for their research into the number of group photos
needed to (almost) ensure that no-one has their eyes shut.

Nobel Peace Prize for inventing karaoke to Daisuke Inoue.
Hope this helps.

PS My nephew is into physics and not into biology. To correct this
glaring deficiency, one of his little pressies for this Christmas is an
extract from Richard Dawkin's 'Climbing Mt Improbable' on the eye. It
reads like physics, but is really biology. Sneaky, eh? It all meets
somewhere in the middle. In the case of animals, perhaps it meats
somewhere in the middle.
