Lie Detector Monitor - full-body suit that can tell if you're Lying

A new lie-detector test has been developed that can tell whether suspects under questioning are lying. Although interrogators have long used polygraphs similar to lie detector to detect untruths, but the reliability of the technique has always been doubted.

Now researchers in Britain and the Netherlands have developed a test which they claim has a success rate of more than 70 per cent. The team say traditional polygraphs are only 60 per cent accurate. The new method monitors a suspect’s full-body movements for signs of guilt because liars tend to fidget more, The Guardian reported last night.

The suit, which contains 17 sensors that detect movement up to 120 times a second, costs £30,000 but the scientists are looking at cheaper ways of replicating their creation.

Its been proved through the researchers' experiment involving 180 students at Lancaster University. Half were told to tell the truth and half were told to lie.

The full-body suit was put to the test as the test subjects were quizzed on a computer game, which some had played and some had only read notes about.

'Overall, we correctly classified 82.2 per cent of the interviewees as either being truthful or deceptive based on the combined movement in their individual limbs,' the report says
