Polygraph

Although the EPPA law specifically mentions polygraph, the law has been applied in practice more broadly to the use of any lie detection solution. At the heart of the law is the concept of protecting a person’s right to privacy in employment. Thus, any lie detector would be prohibited. However, lie detection solutions can be

The absence of probable-lie comparison questions in an EyeDetect test eliminates concerns about any overlap that might occur between “relevant” and “comparison” questions (see “How is the polygraph typically used? What is the average accuracy for those uses?” above). The reactions to two sets of “relevant” questions are compared and each relevant issue serves as

When a deceptive person is devising a story to tell a lie, there’s an increase in cognitive load, or brain activity. If someone has the capacity to create a story without increasing how the brain reacts to this process, then that person will appear less deceptive. The pupils react involuntarily to an increase in cognitive

If EyeDetect and polygraph are used together, the probability of a false negative error is greatly diminished. Note: False negative means a deceptive person is categorized as truthful. EyeDetect primarily measures cognitive processes and the polygraph primarily measures emotional responses. As such, the two tests would be relatively independent and would provide complementary information about

The polygraph exam typically has two main uses: for incident-specific questioning, like the police use in investigations; and for screenings, such as the ones employed by government agencies. 1) In criminal investigations in the U.S., the polygraph is used to determine if statements by suspects concerning a specific crime are truthful or deceptive. The polygraph

EyeDetect can be used to replace in some circumstances and/or can complement the polygraph. In reality, EyeDetect is the perfect add-on service for a polygraph company. Studies show that the polygraph can be very accurate for event-specific questioning (a specific line of questioning). However, studies also show that EyeDetect has shown a superior level of
