12. The Polygraph as a lie-detector device has been much criticized because of its many flaws. A tense subject, reacting emotionally to the machine, may appear to be lying; while a practiced liar or a knowledgeable subject may simulate an air of being relaxed merely by diverting his mind or tense certain muscles . A new lie-detector called the Voice-stress Analyzer has improved on the Polygraph. This device measures changes in a person’s voice that are detectable to the human ear.
