A polygraph, commonly referred to as a lie detector test, is a device or procedure that measures and

records several physiological indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductance
while a person sits and responds to a series of questions. [1] ...] The belief underlying the use of the
polygraph is that deceptive responses elicit physiological responses that can be distinguished from those
associated with non-deceptive responses. However, there are no specific physiological reactions
associated with lying, which makes it difficult to determine the factors that separate liars from truths.
