Whoa! I never think about the connotation between human physiology and ASL (other sign languages, too).
What about anyone, who is quadplegeric or physically immobile and still have the ability to make facial expression?
Look forward to your academic publication of your works on this subject.

Very interesting discussion about the nerve system between the brain and the face. I often wonder why some (maybe more than not) deaf people do not make any facial expressions. Or lip movement at all, for that matter. I would ask some of them why no facial expressions or lip movements. They would usually say that there is the difference between themselves and myself because they had never attended an oral school whereas I did attend an oral school prior to transferring to a residential school. I have the intention of finding out at Gallaudet. Findings should be interesting through scientific studies pertainig to the function between the brain system and the nerve system for coordinating the motors in the face and the hands. Not to mention the eye movement which, to me, is equivalent of intonations in hearing people's voices.
