Lie detector - lie detector

Lie detector - lie detector

...a device that measures and simultaneously records physiological changes such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and galvanic skin response that accompany mental agitation. It is used as a tool for psychological forensics in criminal investigations, based on the assumption that there is a difference between the physiological changes that occur when a person lies and when they answer truthfully, and that this difference can be read by the examiner to determine the truth of a statement, and is sometimes called a "lie detector."
[The legal perspective of polygraphs]
Polygraph testing methods include a comprehensive assessment, that is, a control test conducted to determine the truth of statements regarding the entire crime, and a stress peak test conducted to determine the truth of statements that deny knowledge of specific facts related to the suspected crime.

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "lie detectors" are listed below.
