The one thing you need to know to pass a polygraph test - Business Insider - Business Insider The one thing you need to know to pass a polygraph test - Business Insider - Business Insider Posted: 03 Jun 2015 12:00 AM PDT Flickr/Lwp Kommunikáció Most people think polygraphs — also called lie-detector tests — can determine whether you're lying. But the technology has its critics. "The public needs to know that polygraph testing has no scientific basis and is inherently biased against truthful people, yet liars can train themselves to pass," said George Maschke, the co-creator of Antipolygraph.org . Maschke, whose website aims to expose the test's shortcomings, told Business Insider that just one insight could have a huge impact on a person's results: Examiners expect takers to lie on certain questions, known as control or comparison questions. These "control questions" include harmless accusations...

Researchers Built an ‘Online Lie Detector.’ Honestly, That Could Be a Problem - WIRED Researchers Built an ‘Online Lie Detector.’ Honestly, That Could Be a Problem - WIRED Posted: 21 Mar 2019 12:00 AM PDT The internet is full of lies . That maxim has become an operating assumption for any remotely skeptical person interacting anywhere online, from Facebook and Twitter to phishing-plagued inboxes to spammy comment sections to online dating and disinformation-plagued media. Now one group of researchers has suggested the first hint of a solution: They claim to have built a prototype for an "online polygraph" that uses machine learning to detect deception from text alone. But what they've actually demonstrated, according to a few machine learning academics, is the inherent danger of overblown machine learning claims. In last month's issue of the journal Computers in Human Behavior , Florida State University and Stanfor...

How do lie detectors work? - Big Think How do lie detectors work? - Big Think Posted: 27 Oct 2020 05:01 AM PDT In a 2002 study, 60 percent of people were found to lie at least once during a 10-minute conversation, with most people telling an average of two or three lies. The polygraph, invented in the early 1920s, detects physiological responses to lying (such as elevated heart and respiratory rates as well as spikes in blood pressure. Three main areas of the brain are stimulated during deception: the frontal lobe, the limbic system, and the temporal lobe. According to the American Polygraph Association, the estimated accuracy of a polygraph can be up to 87 percent. What happens in your brain when you lie? Image by Shidlovski on Shutterstock We all lie. Some might argue it's human nature. In a 2002 study, 60 percent of people were found to lie at least once during a 10-minute conversation, with most people telling an average o...

An online lie detector - Axios An online lie detector - Axios Posted: 20 Mar 2019 12:00 AM PDT Researchers at Florida State University and Stanford are developing an "online polygraph" that detects lies in text — without the contextual clues that can hint at deception in a face-to-face conversation. Details: In experiments, the researchers found that liars used more florid prose and often expressed certainty, while truth-tellers responded more slowly and with words like "perhaps," "guess" and "could." They designed a machine learning system that can pick up on these subtle cues to correctly separate out liars from truth-tellers about three-quarters of the time. The results were published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior . "You could use it for online dating, Facebook, Twitter — the applications are endless," says FSU researcher Shuyuan Ho, the paper's lead author, in an art...

Howie Carr: Joe Biden cooks up a few debate whoppers - Boston Herald Howie Carr: Joe Biden cooks up a few debate whoppers - Boston Herald Posted: 22 Oct 2020 08:19 PM PDT Another night, another two-on-one-is-Democrat-fun debate. Kristen Welker wasn't as bad as Chris Wallace, but it was still stacked against the president, starting with the topics. Coronavirus, minimum wage, health care, climate change, illegals. Kristen, here's a quarter, call someone who cares. Except for health care, on which Biden hasn't a clue, Kristen's Democrat talking-point issues do not resonate with the electorate. Biden whoppers? No one lost their health care under Obamacare. He lied about opposing the travel ban from China or calling it "xenophobic." He claimed he never said he'd abolish fracking. He said he'd never used the phrase "super predators." He even demanded Trump put the videotape of his promise to ba...

The league investigated players, video staff members, coaches, and more and "none of them said that I knew," according to Luhnow. He said "emails, text messages, slack messages, tens of thousands of messages from different people" were involved. You are subscribed to email updates from "lie detector test online" - Google News .

Sixth time the charm for city’s interim attorney, who says he was falsely charged of spousal battery by one wife - Vallejo Times-Herald Sixth time the charm for city’s interim attorney, who says he was falsely charged of spousal battery by one wife - Vallejo Times-Herald Posted: 16 Oct 2020 09:32 PM PDT Randy Risner laughs, pondering his first of six — yes, six — walks down the aisle. He was 19. That fuzzy memory — starting a journey that carried with it both painful divorces and what Vallejo's interim city attorney says were false spousal battery charges — from 41 years ago isn't fuzzy enough. "I was an idiot," Risner said. "I was really young and I had some friends who got married young." It was only the beginning for Risner, whose marriages, apparently, had the lifespan of a pro football running back. That initial vow exchange lasted six years, basically through most of Risner's tenure with the U.S. Coast...
