THE GENERAL RULES TO

FOLLOW IN CHART INTERPRETATION

WHAT IS A POLYGRAPH MACHINE?

 POLYGRAPHY IS THE SCIENCE OF TRUTH VERIFICATION BASED

UPON PSYCHOPYSIOLOGICAL ANALOGUES. A POLYGRAPH
MACHINE THEN, IS AN INSTRUMENT THAT IS USED TO RECORD
CHANGES IN ONE'S PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES SUCH AS
HEARTBEAT, BLOOD PRESSURE, RESPIRATION AND ELECTRICAL
RESISTANCE OR GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE OR GSR.
HOW DOES A POLYGRAPH MACHINE WORK?

AN INSTRUMENT THAT MEASURES CHANGES

IN HEARTBEAT, BLOOD PRESSURE AND
RESPIRATION. THE UNDERLYING THEORY IS
THAT WHEN PEOPLE BECOME NERVOUS
ABOUT LYING THEIR HEART RATE WILL
INCREASE. THEY'RE ALSO MORE LIKELY TO
EXPERIENCE AN INCREASE IN BLOOD
PRESSURE, CHANGE IN BREATHING RYTHMS,
AND INCREASE IN PERSPIRATION. ANY
DEVIATION FROM THE BASELINE OF
TRUTHFULNESS IS THEN SEEN AS A SIGN OF
LYING.
