All this guy is giving you is false information and more of the polygraph hoax, to support his machine and his paychecks. I would expect more of this paper than to support and give any credibility to a polygraph examiner. National Academy of Sciences invalidated the polygraph years ago. Any scientist or engineer of worth already knows what a crock this pseudo-science is.

His machine can be beat, and is beat by those that have the knowlege. 1 sided reporting is what this article is.
