Definition
Programs that administer "lie detector" tests using instruments that measure an individual's respiratory activity, sweat gland activity and blood pressure; and testify in court regarding the findings (deception indicated, no deception indicated or inconclusive). Polygraph tests have three phases: the pretest interview phase, the in-test phase and the post-test interview phase. A typical polygraph examination will last two to three hours, sometimes longer.
