How polygraph tests work

A polygraph test records physiological responses of a subject through application of sensors to areas of their body whilst an examination is conducted, and the subject is asked questions regarding the issue or behaviour that needs to be clarified.

The sensors record responses such as heart rate (pulse), respiration (breathing rate) skin conductivity (which indicates sweat produced on the hand), blood pressure, movement, and temperature which is then conveyed to a software programme and converted into numerical or visual data such as a graph which measurements can be obtained from.

The bodily responses described above have been evidenced within psychology and the behavioural sciences to indicate stress or anxiety and exposure to threat which human beings experience when they act to deceive or lie.

A polygraph examiner will use specific methodology to design the question sets used within a lie detector test that comply with research and study into the principles and approaches found to provide the most accurate and reliable polygraph test results and will use specific language and order of questioning to promote this.

After the lie detector test the examiner can analyse the data achieved and conduct scoring techniques to determine the presence or lack of deception indicated by the recorded responses of the subject during questioning.
