Contributors to the development of
Pneumograph
Vittorio Benussi
(1914)Noted the changes in
inhalation and exhalation ratio
occurring during deception. He
recorded the respiratory curves of
the pneumography.
Harold Burtt
A scientist who, in 1918
determined that the respiratory
changes were sign of deception
and concluded that systolic
pressure changes are valuable in
determining deception.
Étienne-Jules Marey
-The most popular construction
was Marey's pneumograph,
developed by a French scientist
and inventor. Murdoch's truthizer
is based on the pneumograph,
invented in 1883.
