Polygraph Test
A polygraph machine records the body's involuntary responses to an examiner's questions in
order to ascertain deceptive behavior. The test measures physiological data from three or more
systems of the human body-generally the respiratory, cardiovascular, and sweat gland systems-but not
the voice.
Because the polygraph test measures bodily responses, a data subject can attempt to alter her
bodily responses in order to interfere with the test. Several common ways to undermine the test
include: taking sedatives to reduce anxiety; using antiperspirant to prevent sweating; and positioning
pins or biting parts of the mouth after each question to demonstrate a constant physiological response.
