Using GSR/EDA 'white snap-in stickies' instead of steel & velcro, #3 of 3

---if you only have the stainless-steel & velcro finger electrodes for gsr/eda, all 4 instrument manufacturers offer either snap-in adapters or new leads with snaps.

---don't buy replacement 'white stickies' from the instrument manufacturers: buy fresher ones from where they buy them from! (PEOA members: a list is available to you that contains several direct distributors of 'white stickies')

Using GSR/EDA 'white snap-in stickies' instead of steel & velcro, #2 of 3

Most 'white stickies' (also used on the chest of EKG patients) have a shelf-life of 18 months for the typically-used 'pre-gelled' ones.
What goes bad? The 'gel' in the center of the electrode actually evaporates, making a very-poor transferance of the body's signals.
You can buy the medical gel itself if needed.

Using GSR/EDA 'white snap-in stickies' instead of steel & velcro, #1 of 3

Reminder: when fingertips are giving poor or no GSR/EDA tracings, give the white stickies a try instead, on the palm of the hand.

Monday, October 19, 2009

A potential client asks: "What is a 'certified' examiner?"

Most nationwide polygraph organizations do NO 'certifying'; they leave that up to 'local' polygraph groups.

Most local polygraph groups will 'allow' their PAID members to say that they are 'certified' for that year if they say they had a minimum of 12 hours of education that year-- and if they PAY THEM A FEE! Most members, receiving no credible education during that year, instead choose to attend that group's yearly social get-together: which (for a fee!) just happens to 'also' satisfy their minimum education hours to 'allow' them to say they are 'certified'!

PEOA (www.peoa.US) requires the highest hours in the lie-detection profession-- a minimum of 15 hours per year-- for their yearly 'certified' designation. Polygraph Examiners of America, the world's largest lie-detection network, makes available to its members a choice of venues for FREE continuing education hours every year.

If you are considering the hiring of an examiner who claims to be 'certified', you might ask him/her exactly what & when recent training he/she claims was the source of their CURRENT certification-- then verify it. If it came from a group that does not have its own phone number for such verification, then, oh well.

PEOA verifies its member's certifications at 818-883-6969.

Q: What does a same-topic 'comparison question' become if you forget to include a timebar?

A. Another 'relevant question'.

Analog 'Technical Tip':

If the blood-pressure cuff will not hold pressure, check the (little used) vent knob. Hidden amongst sensitivity knobs and others, verify that it is solidly closed.

The movements, unusual questions and silly answers are not what you can expect on a real examination. Plus, many have 'scripted', predetermined', or 'known solution' results.)

Relationship polygraph news story

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
Polygraph Experts Pitch Services At Suspicious Spouses
By JANICE PODSADA The Hartford Courant
July 26, 2009


Walking the Appalachian trail or fooling around in Argentina? Sober or still drinking-and-drugging on the sly? Out on a hike or out on a lark?

There is a way to uncover the truth, some experts say: Ask the person to take a polygraph test.

"It's cheaper than a divorce," said Bernie Soldate, owner of Forensic Polygraph Center in Simsbury. Soldate charges the going rate, about $900, to administer a polygraph test.

A "lie detector" isn't just for criminal cases anymore. Increasingly, it's being advertised as a tool for private citizens to solve pressing domestic issues or even neighbor disputes.

Associated Polygraph Center in East Hartford recently bought billboard space above the eastbound lanes of I-84 near downtown Hartford in hopes of drumming up more business. "Want to know the truth? Ask them to take polygraph test." the company's electronic ad beamed brightly above the highway.

"We're looking for more of the domestic market," said Karen Nunez-Robbins, whose business partner, Leighton "Skip" Hammond, founded the firm.

More consumers are turning to polygraph examiners to set the record straight, said Soldate, who estimates that 50 percent of his business comes from domestic issues.

"Half of the work out there is husbands and wives, couples," said John Grogan, executive director of the Polygraph Examiners of America. Grogan, who lists baseball player Jose Canseco among the people he has tested, swears by its accuracy.

"Right now, with the modern computerized polygraph and a trained examiner, it's about 98 percent accurate," Grogan said.

When suspicion is eating away at a relationship, especially when it involves a partner's fidelity, a polygraph test may help clear up the problem.

"If there is no other way to work this out, the last resort is a polygraph test," Soldate said. "But before you pay for a test — and I ask for it in advance — be prepared to be truthful. If you've got something to tell your spouse, cough it up now; fall on the sword. Honesty is the best policy."
