4 Types of Instrument The Simultaneous Operations 1

The document discusses different techniques used in polygraph or lie detection tests. It details the components and functioning of various polygraph instruments, including the pneumograph, cardiograph and galvanograph components that measure physiological responses. It also outlines the simultaneous operations of attaching and calibrating these components during a polygraph examination.

The The instrument used in Polygraph
Examination is often called as
Polygraph. It was defined as an
Instruments instrument or device capable of
producing recordings of physiological
phenomena that may be used as the
basis for the application of reliable
technique for diagnosing truth or
deception. The instrument itself does
not detect lies or deception; it only
records the physiological changes that
occur when the subject tells a lie or
deception. It is the Examiner who
determines deception through the use
or aid of the polygraph instrument.
A. THE PNEUMOGRAPH COMPONENT

The Pneumograph component of the


polygraph machine is used to record the
subject's respiratory rate. It consists of
two 10 inches of convoluted tubes. One
tube isYour
fastened around the subject's
paragraph text

chest, and the other is placed around the


subject's abdomen. The tube expands
and contracts when the subject breathes.
The Pneumographic Tube

A corrugated and stretchable rubberized tube


or apparatus that is to be attached to the
Subject’s chest or stomach (or both).
Inhalation will cause the tube to stretch and
subsequently create an upward tracing or
movement of the pneumo-pen unto the
polygraph chart. Exhalations are the
downward tracings, thereof.
The Beaded Chain

A freewheeling string of stainless beads with a hook which fastens the


pneumographic tube unto Subject’s chest or stomach.
THE CARDIOGRAPH COMPONENT
The Cardiographic Component records the changes occurring in the human circulatory
system, such as the blood pressure and pulse rates.

Cardiograph General term for any recording of heart activity. In PDD the use of a blood
pressure cuff to monitor relative arterial blood pressure changes and pulse wave is more
precisely described as sphygmography (recording of the arterial pulse) or occlusion
Plethysmography (partial blockage of circulation to measure volume changes in a body part).
While cardiograph is not incorrect in this context, it lacks precision in denoting the actual
phenomenon being recorded in PDD. The term cardiograph in the psychophysiological and
medical literature most often refers to the electrocardiograph.
The Arm Cuff -This is attached to the Subject’s arm.

The Hand Pump Bulb- This causes the arm cuff to


inflate in order to produce
blood pressure and pulse rate.
The Aneroid Blood Pressure Meter Gauge.
-measures and monitors B/P reading while the polygraphic testing is going on.
THE GALVANOGRAPH COMPONENT
The Galvanographic Component, sometimes
called the Galvanic-Skin-Reflex (GSR)
Component, records the changes occurring in
the Nervous-Excretory systems. It has been
studied that brain’s activities and electrical
charges have been recorded thru the
epidermal skin rell that passed through the
different nerves of the human body.
The Finger Electrodes are special types of
sensitive metal plates to be attached to the
Subject’s end-joints of both the Index and
Ring Fingers for the recording of the electrical
charges (ohms) from the brain through the
skin.
Finger Electrodes

These are special types of


sensitive metal plates to be
attached to the Subject's
end-joints of both the
Index and Ring Fingers for
the recording of the
electrical charges from the
brain through the skin.
THE KYMOGRAPH
COMPONENT
This the chart-drive recording unit
of the instrument. It has a
synchronized motor that drives the
charts at the rate of six to twelve
inches per minute and its speed
constant is vital because the
vertical lines, which are spaced
either at one-half of an inch
interval, represent five or ten
seconds interval on the chart.
THE SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS
The Upper Pneumograph - attach the Pneumograph Tube to Subject's chest;
lock the Beaded Chain; close the Vent; adjust Sensitivity and Pen-Centering
Controls; align Pen-Cradle and Pen to the Chart; finally check the GREEN Ink
tracing

The Lower Pneumograph -attach the Pneumograph Tube to Subject's


stomach; lock the Beaded Chain; close the Vent; adjust Sensitivity and Pen-
Centering Controls; align Pen- Cradle and Pen to the Chart; finally check the
GREEN Ink tracing.
The Cardlograph wrap the Arm Cuff around Subject's right or
left arm; close the Vent;
pump the Hand-pump Bulb to inlate Arm Cuf; check B/P
reading at the Aneroid B/P
Meter Gauge; clip Pinch-Clamp to close pneumatic pressure;
adjust Sensitivity and Pen-Centering Controls; align Pen-
Cradle and Pen to the Chart; finally check the RED Ink tracing

The Galvanograph/ GSR-attach the Finger Electrodes to the


Subject's right or left Index
and Ring Fingers; adjust Sensitivity and Pen-Centering
Controls; align Pen-Cradle and Fingers; Pen to the Chart;
finally check
the BLUE Ink tracing.
