Extract

Although much work has been done on the physiological concomitants of affective states, nothing is known of any objective bodily changes accompanying thought processes, and yet the most superficial observation of lip, facial and eye movements, of unconscious gesture and restlessness furnishes indications of some of the more obvious somatic accompaniments of non-emotional mental activity.
