One can also mitigate galvanic skin response via adderall. GSR (and polygraph as a whole) is *also* affected by such things as whether the interviewer is the same race as you (Fischer & Kotses, 1973). It's not admissible in court because it's not objective. Polygraph is arguably not even science, and was created at a time when almost nothing was known about the interplay between neurology and psychology. Spending time investigating polygraph-defeators is completely useless. ~Griffin -- "Cypherpunks write code not flame wars." --Jurre van Bergen #Foucault / PGP: 0xAE792C97 / OTR: [email protected] My posts, while frequently amusing, are not representative of the thoughts of my employer. -- Liberationtech is a public list whose archives are searchable on Google.
