What a clever idea, Greg!
So long as those applying EML concern themselves mostly with appearances (as
opposed to the sort of complex internal states--like anomie, nostalgia,
transcendent ecstacy, and so forth--the description of which novelists
specialize in), I should think that it would suffice for EML to correlate
directly with face muscles. Consider, for instance, that recent research
suggests that analysis of the muscles involved can distinguish between "fake"
(read, "consciously generated") and genuine smiles.
