A Cambridge boffin told me YOU'RE A BIG, FAT LIAR
Cambridge University boffins have begun exploring an alternative to the traditional polygraph approach to detecting liars and cheats. Instead of calculating variations in a person's respiration, pulse and sweat production, the fib-detecting tech looks at the subject's body movements. As a first stage in investigating the …

Yeah, so any hypearctive kid is also a pathologica liar
Err... Knowing how much some teens and pre-teens (and adults for that matter) fidget during even the smallest mental exertion... I have some doubts here...
This also means that the next gen polyugraph can now by bypassed using copious amounts of ritaline... Interesting...

Define lying
it might be quite hard to fidget deliberately at exactly the same level as you do when you’re not feeling guilty," Anderson writes.
People often believe what they themselves say and don't feel guilty. They don't think they're lying. For example:
Computer scientists at Cambridge University are confident that results can be improved
So, are these guys fidgeting at exactly the same level as they normally do?

Yeah, about right for that Pond scum and his ilk.
By the shows own admission, the test was "upto" 90%, which was then redacted to "exhibits a high degree of accuracy". Either way, some poor saps have had the wrath of the womanising, gambling self righteouss cock-womble that is Kyle spout his vitroil at them because they "lied" when all along they were telling the truth.
There is no wonder that show is shown when most of us of working age/condition are doing that.
Put it on when the dole office opens and watch the viewing figure plummet.
The man is a cunt of royal order....

Fidget training seminars coming soon
We suspect it might be quite hard to fidget deliberately at exactly the same level as you do when you’re not feeling guilty.
I suspect it might be quite easy to learn to fidget deliberately at a constant level regardless of whether or not you're feeling guilty.
For those unable to exercise such a demanding level of self-control, perhaps a packet of live crab lice dumped down the Y-fronts would do the trick.

Laboearory conditions don't equate to real life situations
I've been asked to take lie detector tests as part of job application processing as well as a couple of investigations. As a Canadian I can refuse.
I agreed to one but the examiner said 'The subject was unable to comply with conditions' (I took medication before the test). If a prospective subject doesn't co-operate with a test conditions, they will never work properly and therefore any 'results' will be inaccurate.
I still got the contract, I was the best candidate for the work involved.
Same with retina scans - they don't work unless you adhere to their demands when they acquire your scans. I don't have any scans, either.
The equipment isn't much better - look at the Apple fingerprint device - or the expose involving the German Defence Minister.
