and guilt that produces the anxiety and nervousness. When a person feels this way they exhibit difficult to detect involuntary physiological changes that can be detected with a polygraph. Most polygraph examiners will say that they do not test specifically for lies, but for these deceptive reactions. The Silent Talker camera allows the examiner to add microexpressions that may be more directly associated with actual lying. And, since microexpressions are more difficult for the subject to control, theoretically they could provide the examiner with better data.

the truthfulness of the speaker. Ekman explains that "micro expressions are facial expressions that occur within a fraction of a second. This involuntary emotional leakage exposes a person's true emotions." However, the evidence doesn't show that this device actually makes a difference in the interpretation of the results.
129:. They concluded that this system is not only cumbersome and expensive but gave a false report that a traveler was lying when that was not actually the case. This example clearly shows the dangers of using this system, including that it may be used to deny entry to travelers who are incorrectly deemed to be untruthful.

Emamzadeh writes that while there are no easy ways to detect lying, the cognitive approach may increase accuracy. Other sources give advice about what techniques people usually use to determine if a speaker is being truthful. These articles focus on non-verbal behavior of the speaker

Polygraphs are used under the hypothesis that most people do not lie or deceive without some feelings of anxiety or nervousness. This stems from the idea that most people either feel bad that they are lying or are afraid that they will get caught or will be in trouble if they lie. It is this fear

Microexpressions are an example of body language that is both often unconscious and not usually something that the examiner would be able to notice. The Silent Talker system adds a camera to the usual polygraph to catch these microexpressions so that they can be analyzed as part of the analysis of

by adding a camera to the process. The creators claim that microexpressions are actual indicators of lying, while many other things could cause an emotional response. Since microexpressions are fleeting, the camera allows the examiner to capture data that otherwise would have been missed. However,

Since the test results can easily be incorrect, they are rarely admissible in court. If the lawyers wish to have the results included in a trial, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued standards for admissibility of scientific tests that must be submitted before a judge makes the decision. However the

Polygraph examination results are not generally court admissible because they are considered fundamentally unreliable and there is a fear that jurors would, without question, believe all results of a polygraph."
