I'll break down the connection between stuttering and blink rate. Stuttering has been associated with high dopamine levels. In fact, the medications that have shown effectiveness lower dopamine levels. Blink rate can be used as a proxy for dopamine levels in the striatum; where dopamine levels are high in stutterers. Fast blink rate per minute = high dopamine levels. If you want to know more, my DMs are open.
