the sequence of attachment for the three primary recording sensors of the
polygraph instrument, the normal factors that should be considered in
attaching these sensors to an examinee, and what effects these fac tors
could have on the collection of an examinee's physiological data.
The intended point or primary goal of this brief discussion on attachment and
placement of polygraph instrument sensors is simply to remind and
reemphasize to examiners that it is critically important for them to properly
place the three primary sensors (pneumographs, Fingerplates, and Cardio
Cuff) at their optimum locations in order to obtain the best possible
physiological signals for subsequent analysis during the data analysis
phase.
1. Some polygraphs also record arm and leg movements. As the examiner
asks questions, signals from the sensors connected to your body are recorded on a
single strip of moving paper. You will learn more about the examiner and the test itself
later.
3. The tracing is usually found at the bottom of the chart & it records the activity of the
heart which is made up of three physiological phenomena: a systolic rate; a diastolic
stroke & a dicrotic notch. The normal pulse rate of an average individual is 72 to 80
beats per minute.
4. The galvanograph tracing is located at the center portion of the chart when properly balanced takes the form of a slightly
wavering line across the middle portion of the chart with a minor response to spoken stimuli.
