Lie detector

A polygraph examination

that monitors an individual’s psychophysiological responses, recording relative changes in selected physiological attributes, such as: arterial blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate patterns, galvanic skin response (electrodermal activity).

During a polygraph examination, the subject is asked a series of carefully selected questions, specially prepared to induce psychophysiological responses, which are continually recorded by the polygraph. Both the examination procedure and the subsequent interpretation of the subject’s responses are always carried out by professionally trained experts – polygraph examiners.

Examination


Polygraph Equipment

A typical polygraph examination will include a period referred to as a:

  • – pre-test interview
  • – chart collection phase
  • – test data analysis phase

During the pre-test, the polygraph examiner will complete required paperwork and talk with the examinee about the test, answering any questions the examinee might have. It is during this phase that the examiner will discuss the test questions and familiarize the examinee with the testing procedure.

During the chart collection phase the examiner will administer and collect a number of polygraph charts. The number of questions and the number of charts will vary, depending on the number of issues and technique employed.

Following this, the examiner will analyze the charts and render an opinion as to the truthfulness of the examinee.

The examiner, when appropriate, will offer the examinee an opportunity to explain physiological responses in relation to one or more questions presented during the test.
