Russian term or phrase: свежая голова

меня интересует термин, который использовал в своем ТВ-шоу Владимир Познер: свежей головой выступал эксперт/гость, который оставался в стороне от событий, т.е. смотрел на них со стороны.
В Википедии этого человека, т.е. свежую голову, описывают как "приглашенного эксперта, который априори был не в теме дискуссии".

Как вы думаете, "a fresh mind" подойдет или слишком дословно?

Спасибо!

English translation:non-biased or unbiased

Explanation:
I think "non-biased" in this case would be very appropriate.

Examples:
1) What does non-biased mean?

Theoretically, it means without opinion or slant towards a cause, OR without any political/religious affiliation.

In reality, it is nearly impossible to be unbiased, as every human being operates under a worldview that affects all areas of his/her life.

2)Definition of UNBIASED

: free from bias; especially : free from all prejudice and favoritism : eminently fair <an unbiased opinion>

How's that for a nice, concise version!? There's also the boring "unengaged observer / commentator."

Explanation:
This might work too if you don't mind the slightly condescending note in this widely used term. Whatever the general key, these folks ARE talking heads, whether they like it or not.
