	Polygraph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A polygraph (commonly yet incorrectly referred to as a lie detector) is a device that measures and records several physiological variables such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and skin conductivity while the subject is asked a series of questions.
		Then a "stim test" is often conducted: the subject is asked to deliberately lie and then the tester reports that he was able to detect this lie.

		Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) is a type of lie detector which measures stress in a person's voice.
		In moments of stress, like when you tell a lie that you dare not get caught at, the body prepares for fight or fight by increasing the readiness of its muscles to spring into action.
		A lie is often dangerous, humiliating, or injurious to get caught at, so lies tend to stand out on stress measurements.

	WORLDLawDirect - Lie detector tests
		The theory underlying a lie detector test -- or a polygraph test, in more scientific terms -- is that lying is stressful, and that this stress can be measured and recorded on a polygraph machine.
		Lie detectors are called polygraphs because the test consists of simultaneously monitoring several of the suspect's physiological functions -- breathing, pulse and galvanic skin response -- and printing out the results on graph paper.
		The courts in most jurisdictions doubt the reliability of lie detector tests and refuse to admit the results into evidence.

		THE US Department of Defense has revealed plans to develop a lie detector that can be used without the subject knowing they are being assessed.
		Because these parameters are the same as those assessed by a polygraph lie detector, the DoD claims the RPA will also indicate the subject's psychological state: if they are agitated or stressed because they are lying, for example.
		A remote lie detector would face even more difficulties than standard polygraph tests, which were themselves the subject of a damning 2003 report from the US National Academy of Sciences.
