Psychophysiological examination is one of the types of forensic examinations, aimed at establishing the mental characteristics of a person and the characteristics of his behavior, that are important for the court case, or have an impact on it. Its task is to determine the interviewee’s individual character traits, active qualities, psychological reactions, motivational factors, and the degree of awareness of one’s own behavior.
This examination with the use of a lie detector is carried out only with the written consent of the interviewee. Any participant in a court case can become the object of testing : the accused, the victim, a witness, a plaintiff, and others.
A forensic psychophysiological examination on a lie detector is carried out in order to determine:
– The truthfulness of the statements made;
– the accuracy of the specified information;
– Withholding specific information;
– Sources of information and their veracity;
– Personal ideas of the respondent about the case;
– Other information necessary for the investigation.
It should be taken into account that most cases of getting into a situation where a forensic psychophysiological examination is necessary are caused by difficult life circumstances and deeply stressful conditions. The very fact of the need for verification, getting into unusual conditions, the possibility of a negative prospect of solving the case, can cause considerable distress to the respondent. Therefore, his mental reactions may not correspond to his usual state.
That is why a polygraph test in the most comfortable and calm conditions, with correctly selected questions prepared by a qualified and experienced psychologist. The work of a professional and impartial expert can give the best result.
Polygraph readings during a forensic psychophysiological examination are evidence and must be considered by the court and investigative bodies.

Doctors strongly advise against taking a polygraph if you have any of the following conditions:
Attention!!! This is not about the effect of the polygraph on the person being tested. It is about the possible effects associated with the stress of the examinee and the excitement of the consequences.
An oral conclusion can be obtained immediately after inspection.
If you want a formal conclusion, we will prepare it within 3 working days and the cost is 1500 UAH, payable separately.
The polygraph test lasts between 40 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the number of questions. This is because the device is calibrated according to the reactions of the subject's nervous system with the help of control questions before the detection of reactions to stipulated questions begins.
The device - no.
A specialist polygrapher - yes, with low qualifications.
Our company has no such problems.
Test conditions. Maximum accuracy of results is ensured by a test duration of 1.5 to 3 hours. The room for polygraph testing should have an area of at least 10 m2 and ceilings over 2.5 metres high. The temperature inside must be +20...+24°C and the humidity level 70-80%. The room should be decorated in neutral colours and there should be no distracting objects in the room. Our examination rooms meet these requirements.
Condition of the person being tested. The accuracy of lie detector results cannot be guaranteed if the person being tested is in a state of severe emotional or physical exhaustion, drug or alcohol intoxication, feels painful and is taking strong medication. Individuals with cardiovascular disorders and pregnant women may have physiological abnormalities that reduce the effectiveness of polygraph testing.
Qualifications of the examiner. In order to obtain the most accurate test results, a polygraph examiner must have undergone special training and conducted several hundred real examinations. The experience of a professional using a lie detector also matters. Our professionals have all the necessary skills.
The questions asked in the polygraph are phrased in such a way that the person being tested gives unambiguous 'Yes' to 'No' answers.
You should answer the questions honestly and sincerely, without trying to hide or influence the information you give out. You can help yourself in this if you come to the test rested, without getting drunk on alcohol-coffee and whatnot.
An experienced polygraph examiner will not be fooled. Such attempts will be easily detected and will give rise to additional questions, to which the answer will be more difficult.
You should not be afraid of a polygraph test, especially if you have nothing to blame yourself for.
